Hi all,
I would like to submit a "think different" approach to this problem
for evaluation for you developers.
Would it be possible to just mark the relevant documents as "deleted"
(instead of deleting them altogether) with an IndexWriter used for
inserting new documents?
"marking" a document as deleted would leave it on the index, but it
would not include it in any result set.
At a later time, an IndexReader could be opened to really delete all
"marked" documents.
Does this approach is compatible with Lucene architecture?
Itīs already done in a quite similar fashion, but the roles of
IndexReader and IndexWriter are exchanged. If you call delete with
an IndexReader, the document(s) are only marked as deleted. You might
even call undeletAll to undo the deletion. Itīs only with the next
explicit optimize or implicit merge from an IndexWriter that the
document(s) are irreversibly deleted.
