To allow deleting the document block all at once, here is another possibility:
In addDocuments() function, add an internal field, i.e., "_num_children_docs_", for the number of children documents. Since the doc ID of all parent/children documents are consecutive, we can use this internal field together with the docID of the parent doc to remove the whole doc block. Here we assume the parent doc is given a doc ID first during the indexing time. Wei On Sun, Mar 3, 2013 at 11:54 AM, Wei Wang <welshw...@gmail.com> wrote: > I see.
