In your approach, you are reading all the documents in your index. You should instead query the index for the file name instead of reading the entire index for each file.

Than add documents which are not in the index! Alone the deletion take so long, because i have 2 "for" loops! file = array with all files in a directory for (int i = 0; i<file.length; i++) { if (file[i].isFile()) { for (int j =0; j<reader.numDocs(); j++) { if (file[i].getName() == reader.document(j).get("name") && file[i].lastModified() > Integer.parseInt(reader.document(j).get("date"))) { reader.delete(j); } } Maybe this is the wrong way?
