According to the javadoc for IndexReader maxDoc "returns one greater than
the largest possible document number" so doesn't necessarily bear much
resemblance to the actual number of undeleted documents in the index.
IndexReader.isDeleted(i) says whether a particular document has
been deleted and can be called before IndexReader.document(i) to
avoid Exceptions being thrown.
I don't think your index is corrupt. If you read the javadoc for
IndexReader.delete() you will see that deleted documents don't disappear
immediately (unless you call optimize() as you are) but will disappear
as the index gets modified further.
Hope that helps.
