Hi all, Is there any guaranty that the maxDoc returned by a reader will be about the total number of indexed documents?
No. It will always be at least as large as the total documents. But that will also count deleted documents. Why wouldn't numdocs serve? Best Erick The motivation of this question is that I want to associate some info to
each document in the index, and in order to access this additional data in O(1) I would like to do this through an array indexing. But the array size shouldn't be a lot greater than the total number of documents. I see that something similar is done in the example of section 6.1 of Lucene in Action, but for sorting purposes, which is not my case. Related to this: how can update my array of extra data when documents are added/removed to/from the index? Is there any feedback mechanism by means of callbacks or event handlers? Thank you in advance. Regards, Carlos
