To ensure deletion I use a while loop with a counter (to prevent an endless
loop if there's a problem)
Term term = this.createIdTerm(id);
Int count = 0;
while(readDocument(indexName, id) != null)
{
count++;
log.debug("deleting document " + id + " from index " + indexName);
writer.deleteDocuments(term);
writer.commit();
if(count > 10)
{
failed = true;
break;
}
}
If(failed) throw DeleteFailedException("Failed to delete document " + id
+ " from index " + indexName);
And readDocument does this:
IndexReader reader = this.getReader(indexName);
Document doc = null;
TermDocs td = reader.termDocs(this.createIdTerm(id));
if(td.next())
{
int d = td.doc();
doc = reader.document(d);
}
this.returnReader(reader);
return doc;
Because IndexReader.termDocs doesn't return deleted documents, once the
deletion is successful, readDocument returns a null.
I'm not even sure if I need to make the writer.commit() call, but the load
for us is small enough that performance isn't an issue. If performance does
become an issue I might need to tweak this a bit, but it does ensure that a
deletion is successful or it throws an exception.
