I am just getting started with Lucene and I think I have a problem understanding some basic concepts.
I am using two-part identifiers to uniquely identify a document in the index. So whenever I want to index a document, I first want to find and delete the old form. To find it, I intend to use: BooleanQuery findOurs = new BooleanQuery(); findOurs.add(new TermQuery(new Term("Id", id)), true, false); findOurs.add(new TermQuery(new Term("Domain", domain)), true, false); System.out.println("Deleting document matching: \"" + findOurs.toString("") + '"'); Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(directory); Hits hits = searcher.search(findOurs); // Assert: hits.length() <= 1 for (int i = 0 ; i < hits.length() && i < 10; i++) { Document d = hits.doc(i); // Now what can I do to find document id? int id = ?????? searcher.delete(id); } But I can't discover how to convert a search result into a document id. It is recorded in the private HitDoc class, but since it is not publicly accessible, there must be a reason why it would not work to add a public getter for it. Is there an alternative way that I can do this? My first thought is to define a Field.Keyword("composite-key", domain + "\u0000" + id). This would allow me to use the delete(Term) interface to delete the key. -- Thanks, Adrian. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
