Hi Neil, the issue here is a API problem still present in Lucene 4.x. In Lucene 5 you cannot do that anymore (reindex a document by passing IndexReader's return value into IndexWriter), so we will not fix the issue for 4.x. In 5.0 the world looks like that and then it's no longer a problem (because you cannot do what you want to do without an extra step):
- In Lucene 5, IndexReader.document() will return StoredDocument - StoredDocument is incompatible to IndexedDocument, so you cannot pass StoredDocument to IndexWriter. In Lucene 5 you have to copy the fields to a new index document and then you have to take care to set properties correctly. The information if a field was indexed or not is not available to IndexReader, so it cannot fill that information. So the API glitch in previous Lucene versions and also 4.x is the fact that a stored document does not differ API-wise from an indexer document.
