I notice in your "catch" clause you always set the
writer to be true... (i.e. new IndexWriter(INDEX_DIR,
analyzer, true).
If I am not mistaken reading the docs, this overwrites
the entire index, no? That is why I was setting that
variable to false when doing an incremental update.
When I reindex all documents, I have had no problem.
