: I'm wondering how to delete a range of documents with : a range filter instead of a query. I want to remove all docs with a : creation date within two dates. : : As far as I remember range filters are much quicker then queries in lucene.
Never fear, the default query parser in Solr does a lot of query magic under the covers to make things "better" ... if you do a deleteByQuery and your query is a range query, Solr will parse it as a ConstantScoreQuery (backed by a range filter) (FYI: Filter's aren't neccessarily faster then queries, they just have different memory characteristics, dictated by the number of docs instead of by the number of terms) : : /Johan : -Hoss
