This should be a very simple question. But I can't seem to find the right way to do so. Anyway, is there a simple and fast way to get a list of document IDs through the lucene index?
I can use a loop to iterate from 0 to IndexReader.maxDoc and check whether an the document id is valid through IndexReader.document(i), but this would imply that I have to retrieve the documents fields. Iterating through from 0 to numDocs would work, I assume, if the index is optimized (?). I don't know what would happen if it's not though. I also don't think a WildcardQuery would work, since doing a "*" would give me all the terms and I'd blow over the maximum term limit in the BooleanQuery. I'm probably missing something, and I'm sure the experts here can point me to the obvious.
