When I call IndexWriter.addIndexes, is there anything I can do to make it filter out duplicates based a certain field (or group of fields)? If I know that the id field of the document is unique, can I make addIndexes know that if it finds a new document bat the same id, the new one is valid and the old one should be overwritten (or deleted and the new one added in its place)?
I don't see anything like unique constraint in the Field class; I know Lucene is not a SQL database, but i just wanted to check to make sure I'm not missing anything. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/can-IndexWriter.addIndexes-de-dupe-documents--tp27694763p27694763.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
