Yes, you need to store one untokenized field which will identifiy the
exact document you want to update.
You can also check whether any document like that exists in your indexes,
by using deleteDocuments() method of Indexreader. This returns the number
of documents deleted as per the Term provided.

I also used the updateDocument() to do so, but I encountered the issue
that it takes a term as argument, so that other documents may be deleted
by this method. To avoid this, my conclusion was that a solution is to
store some stored untokenized fields, used as keys to identify solely a
document, each document being identified by a string that distinguish it
from others (such as url or file path).

PS: Here is the sample code I've wrote during my internship, quite
simple to grasp:
(there are no commentaries, I removed them as they were in french)
The method that could interest you is the addDocument(String) one.
Hope it helped.
public class Indexer {
private static final Logger theLogger =
Logger.getLogger(Indexer.class);
private Analyzer theAnalyzer;
private IndexWriter theIndexWriter;
private Reader theReaderContent;
private String theIndexPath;
public Indexer(String anIndexPath) {
theAnalyzer = new StandardAnalyzer();
theIndexPath = anIndexPath;
}
public void addDocument(String aFileName){
try {
theIndexWriter = new IndexWriter(theIndexPath, theAnalyzer);
} catch (IOException e) {
theLogger.error(e);
}
Document doc = new Document();
try {
theReaderContent = new FileReader(aFileName);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
theLogger.error(e);
}
TokenStream tokenStreamContent = new
StandardTokenizer(theReaderContent);
Field docPath = new Field("path", aFileName, Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED);
Field docContent = new Field("content", tokenStreamContent);
doc.add(docPath);
doc.add(docContent);
try {
// theIndexWriter.addDocument(doc);
theIndexWriter.updateDocument(new Term("path",aFileName),doc);
theIndexWriter.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
theLogger.error(e);
}
}
public void sort(){
try {
theIndexWriter = new IndexWriter(theIndexPath, theAnalyzer);
theIndexWriter.optimize();
theIndexWriter.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
theLogger.error(e);
}
}
public void addAllDocuments(String aDirectoryPath){
File directory = new File(aDirectoryPath);
File[] subDirectory = directory.listFiles();
System.out.println(subDirectory.length+" fichiers ont été
indexés.");
for (File file : subDirectory) {
addDocument(file.getPath());
}
this.sort();
}
}
