So in your UI, you'd like the delete to happen immediately and then it's OK if the updated (added) document then takes a minute to appear?

OK, I agree this (the immediacy of doing deletes via IndexReader) is a good reason to keep IndexReader.deleteDocument for now.

I have to Tag a document based on User request. On deletion, I should do 'marked for delete' and on document state change, i need to update the document. Update internally does delete and add. I am commiting the writer and re-opening the reader, every minute.

Consider, In a minute, lets say User has deleted a document from the UI. If i use IndexWriter, then it is updating the document. but it is getting refreshed only after a minute. If User refreshes his page, then he could see the deleted item again.

In order to avoid this situitation, i need to plan
1. Delete the document using reader
2. Add the document with new state using Writer.

I think, we can't avoid using DeleteDocument of Reader. Suggest me, if there is any other way.

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.
