Hi Neville,
You could do it like this:
reader.max_doc.times {|i| reader.delete(i)}
That will delete all documents. Make sure you close your IndexWriter
before doing this though as the IndexReader will try and obtain locks
on the index for the deletions.
Alternatively you could use a rotating index directory. When you
rebuild, rebuild in a new directory. Then when you have finished
rebuilding, re-open the IndexReaders on the new directory.
Both solutions should work equally well.
Cheers,
Dave
