Thanks Otis, I've already made some modification to get the number of deleted docs in IndexWriter.docCount() and using it. It's works great but the problem is not being aware of deletes within IndexWriter itself. I have to re-open the IndexWriter to get the updated number of deletes. Haha! (It's fine cause my index is almost read-only.)
Anyway, I think it's name or functionality of a method should be consistent through IndexReader, IndexWriter, IndexModifier, etc. That's just what I've asked before. On 4/10/07, Otis Gospodnetic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have actually added a method to get the number of deleted documents to all *Reader classes just the other day. I'll provide a patch soon. It still won't make the IndexWriter aware of deletes, but will that help you? Otis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Here is the problem that IndexReader.numDocs() cares about deleted documents, but IndexWriter.docCount() ignores it. So, I've made some modifications in IndexWriter.docCount() and added SegmentInfo.getDeletedDocCount() to read the number of deleted docs as in IndexReader. It works great in my application but I'm not sure it's a right way to handle this. I found that there is no dependencies using docCount() method anywhere in lucene trunk except several test cases. If it was a intended behavior, it's okay but IndexWriter should have provided a method like deletedNumDocs().
