Re: How does delete work?

[Doug Cutting]

The data is actually removed the next time its segment is merged. Optimizing forces it to happen, but it will also eventually happen as more documents are added to the index, without optimization.

It just marks the record as deleted. The record isn't actually removed until the index is optimized.

Hello all,

I used the delete(Term) method, then I looked at the index files, only one
file changed "_1tx.del" I found references to the file still in some of the
index files, so my question is how does Lucene handle deletes?

Thanks,

Rob
