Supporting deleteDocuments in IndexWriter
-----------------------------------------
Key: LUCENENET-10
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-10
Project: Lucene.Net
Type: New Feature
Reporter: Nicolas Brel
Excerpt from the bug submited by Ning Li for Java Lucene:
Today, applications have to open/close an IndexWriter and open/close an
IndexReader directly or indirectly (via IndexModifier) in order to handle a
mix of inserts and deletes. This performs well when inserts and deletes
come in fairly large batches. However, the performance can degrade
dramatically when inserts and deletes are interleaved in small batches.
This is because the ramDirectory is flushed to disk whenever an IndexWriter
is closed, causing a lot of small segments to be created on disk, which
eventually need to be merged.
We would like to propose a small API change to eliminate this problem. We
are aware that this kind change has come up in discusions before. See
