Thanks, I'd try that, but I don't think it will make any difference. If
I modify the code to not reindex the documents, no files in the index
directory are touched, hence there is no record of the deletions
anywhere. I checked the count coming back from the delete operation and
it is zero. I even tried to delete another unique term with similar
results.
How does one call the commit method anyway? Isn't it automatically called?

I've had success with deletion by running IndexReader.delete(int), then
getting an IndexWriter and optimizing the directory. I don't know if
that's "the right way" to do it or not.

I've been merrily cooking along, thinking I was replacing documents when
I haven't. My logic is to go through a batch of documents, get a field
called "reference" which is unique build a term from it and delete it
via the reader.delete() method. Then I close the reader and open a
writer and reprocess the batch indexing all.
Here is the delete and associated code:
reader = IndexReader.open(database);
Term t = new Term("reference",reference);
try {
reader.delete(t);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Delete exception;"+e);
}
except it isn't working. I tried to do a commt and a doCommit, but
those are both protected. I do a reader.close() after processing the
batch the first time.
What am I missing? I don't get an exception. Reference is definitely a
valid field, 'cause I print out the value at search time and compare to
the doc and they are identical.
Thanks,
Jim.
