If you have nothing open already, and all you want to do is delete certain documents and make a commit point, then using IndexReader vs IndexWriter should show very little difference in speed.
Thanks. This use case can assume there may be nothing open. I prefer IndexWriter as delete=write is a much clearer concept that delete=read...
As of 2.4, IndexWriter now provides delete-by-Query, which I think ought to meet nearly all of the cases where someone wants to delete-by-docID using IndexReader.
Yes, that is an excellent addition. Up to now, our only use case for delete-by-docId is to perform a dBQ and so far, we have been using your suggestion from last year about how to do delete documents for ALL terms.
