Why does the deleteByQuery method and the DirectUpdateHandler2 not use the existing IndexSearcher for deleting. Why does it open it's own Searcher?
A couple of reasons: - you can't overlap deletes and adds, so you would have to close whatever reader you used to do deletes before opening a new IndexWriter and adding more documents. - you want deletes and adds visible at the same time. when overwriting a document you want the old one to disappear at a different time from when the new one is visible. -Yonik
