Patrick,
There is nothing built into Lucene to ensure that a given document is
only in the index once, it is up to your application to provide that
logic. If I need to ensure that I do not add a document to the index
that is already present, I first perform a search against a field that
is used to denote a unique document, such as an integer id.

While I am going to do my best to make sure there are no duplicates,
there
may be a case where I am unsure if a transaction completed (such as a
disk
full situation, maybe) and I might want to re-add a certain number of
items
just to make sure they are in there.
If there isn't something built in, is there a strategy others have
used to
handle this?
Thanks.
