Deleting documents
Hello, I have a problem deleting documents from the index. In the tutorial "SP2514N" is used as an example for deleting. I was wondering if "" is some kind of keyword or the name of a field (in the example, a unique field named "id" is used). In my config I have the line bookID making bookID (type slong as defined in the example config) my unique id. So I tried 113976235 which resulted in unexpected XML tag /delete/bookID Okay, so "id" seems to be a keyword, rather than a field name. With my next try 113976235 the query worked fine: But after a I found the number of documents unchanged in the stats. Furthermore the value of deletesById was 0. Oddly enough cumulative_deletesById was 1 (what does this value actually mean?). Any ideas what's going wrong? Thanks, Marcus

What stat? maxDoc may be unchanged since it doesn't reflect deleted documents that haven't been squeezed out of the index (it's a lucene thing). numDocs should reflect the deletion. > Furthermore the value of deletesById was 0. > Oddly enough cumulative_deletesById was 1 (what does this value > actually mean?). If you had looked at the stats before doing a , deletesById would probably be 1. It gets reset on a cumulative stats are never reset. -Yonik
