Grant Ingersoll commented on LUCENE-325:
----------------------------------------
This seems generally useful. I imagine, though, that the patch is way out of
date. I wonder if the new ability to merge some segments might have an option
to do this kind of thing.
Any thoughts on resurrecting this?

> We make use the docIDs in lucene. I need a way to compact the docIDs in
> segments
> to remove the "holes" created from doing deletes. The only way to do this is
> by
> calling IndexWriter.optimize(). This is a very heavy call, for the cases where
> the index is large but with very small number of deleted docs, calling
> optimize
> is not practical.
> I need a new method: expungeDeleted(), which finds all the segments that have
> delete documents and merge only those segments.
> I have implemented this method and have discussed with Otis about submitting a
> patch. I don't see where I can attached the patch. I will do according to the
> patch guidleine and email the lucene mailing list.
> Thanks
