when deleting by unindexed fields, you need to traverse the entire index,
and introspect each document:
IndexReader reader = IndexUtils.getIndexReader(index);
int max = reader.maxDoc();
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
if (!reader.isDeleted(i)) {
Document doc = reader.document(i);
if (meetsCriteria) {
reader.delete(i);
}
}
}
reader.close();
