: text in it, query is of the type "keywords:(word1 OR word2 ... OR wordN)".
: The client is relying on default relevancy based sort returned by solr.
: Some documents can get penalised because of some other documents which were
: deleted. Is this functionality correct?

yes, because term stats are over the entire index including deleted 
documents still in segments -- information about deletions isn't "purged" 
from the index until a segment is merged and the stats are recomputed over 
the docs/terms in the new segment.

the only way to get those types of statistics at request time such that 
they were *not* afected by deleted documents would involve scanning every 
doc to compute them -- which would defeat the point of having the inverted 
index.
