Tim Smith reopened LUCENE-1705:
-------------------------------
Looks like i found an issue with this
The deleteAll() method isn't resetting the nextDocID on the DocumentsWriter (or
some similar behaviour)
so, the following state will result in an error:
* deleteAll()
* updateDocument("5", doc)
* commit()
this results in a delete for doc "5" getting buffered, but with a very high
"maxDocId"
at the same time, doc is added, however, the following will then occur on
commit:
* flush segments to disk
* doc "5" is now in a segment on disk
* run deletes
* doc "5" is now blacklisted from segment
Will work on fixing this and post a new patch (along with updated test case)
(was worried i was missing an edge case)
> Add deleteAllDocuments() method to IndexWriter
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: LUCENE-1705
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1705
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Index
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Tim Smith
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Fix For: 2.9
>
> Attachments: IndexWriterDeleteAll.patch, LUCENE-1705.patch

> Ideally, there would be a deleteAllDocuments() or clear() method on the
> IndexWriter
> This method should have the same performance and characteristics as:
> * currentWriter.close()
> * currentWriter = new IndexWriter(..., create=true,...)
> This would greatly optimize a delete all documents case. Using
> deleteDocuments(new MatchAllDocsQuery()) could be expensive given a large
> existing index.
> IndexWriter.deleteAllDocuments() should have the same semantics as a
> commit(), as far as index visibility goes (new IndexReader opening would get
> the empty index)
> I see this was previously asked for in LUCENE-932, however it would be nice
> to finally see this added such that the IndexWriter would not need to be
> closed to perform the "clear" as this seems to be the general recommendation
> for working with an IndexWriter now
> deleteAllDocuments() method should:
> * abort any background merges (they are pointless once a deleteAll has been
> received)
> * write new segments file referencing no segments
> This method would remove one of the final reasons i would ever need to close
> an IndexWriter and reopen a new one
