Ok so I think that Solr (lucene) will only remove deleted/updated documents
from the disk after an optimize or after an 'expungeDeletes' request. Is there
a way to trigger the expunsion (new word) across the entire index? I tried :
final UpdateRequest request = new UpdateRequest()
request.setParam("expungeDeletes","true");
request.add someofmydocs
server.sendrequest..
But that didn't seem to do the trick as I know I have about 7 Gigs of documents
that should be removed from the disk and the index size hasn't really budged.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kallin Nagelberg

Is there a way to trigger a purge, or under what conditions does it occur?

Assuming your config is set up to replace unique keys, you're really
doing a delete and an add (under the covers). It could very well be that
the deleted version of the document is still in your index taking up
space and will be until it is purged.
