Also, look at the IndexModifier class, which hides a number of the ugly
details. Under the covers, I think (although I haven't looked) that it
pretty much does exactly what you outlined, at least the recommendation that
you do your deletes and adds in batches leads me to think so.

John:
I had implemented a batch (delete,insert,update) operation for the
Oracle Lucene Domain Index using OJVMDirectory, see patch:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-724
The strategy used in this solution is to enqueue all operations on
the table which have a column indexed by Lucene
John,
Batch deletion followed by batch addition is the best practise. Ning Li made
some changes that improve the performance of non-batch mass delete/add
operations, but I'm not sure what the state of those changes is (whether they
are still in Lucene's JIRA, or whether they are in CVS).
