Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1721:
--------------------------------------------
Right, a merge can commit at any time.
Since a writer can change docIDs at any time, it's never safe for something
outside to hold onto docIDs; this is what's good about delete by Term and by
Query: they are "late binding", ie, only resolve to docID at the exact moment
deletion is done.
> IndexWriter to allow deletion by doc ids
> ----------------------------------------

> Key: LUCENE-1721
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1721
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Index
> Reporter: Shay Banon

> It would be great if IndexWriter would allow for deletion by doc ids as well.
> It makes sense for cases where a "query" has been executed beforehand, and
> later, that query needs to be applied in order to delete the matched
> documents.
