  Hi everybody,
in my application I use an instance of EmbeddedSolrServer
(solr 1.4.1), the following snippet shows how I am
instantiating it:

          File home = new
File(indexDataPath(solrDataDir, indexName));
          container = new
CoreContainer(indexDataPath(solrDataDir, indexName));

    container.load(indexDataPath(solrDataDir,
indexName), new File(home, "solr.xml"));
          return new
EmbeddedSolrServer(container, indexName);

and I'm going through some issues using deleteByQuery
method, in fact, when I try to delete a subset of documents,
or even all the documents from the index, I see as they are
correctly marked for deletion on the luke inspector 
(http://code.google.com/p/luke/), but after a commit I
can still retrieve them, just like they haven't been
removed...

I can see the difference and see the documents disappear
only when I restart my jetty application, but obviously this
cannot be a feature... any idea?
I think you are accessing same solr index using both embedded server and http.
The changes that you made using embedded server won't be reflected to http 
until a commit issued from http. I mean if you hit this url:

http://localhost:8983/solr/update?commit=true

the deleted documents won't be retrieved anymore.

P.s. if you want to expunge deleted docs completely you can either optimize or commit 
with expungeDeletes = "true".


Thanks for your reply.
Alright I'll better explain my scenario. I'm not exposing any http 
interface of the index. I handle the whole index 'life cycle' via java 
code with the EmbeddedSolrServer instance, so I'm handling commits, 
optimizations, feedings, index creation, all through that instance, 
moreover my client application calls embeddedSolrServerInstance.commit() 
after deleteByQuery, but the documents are still there....
