Yes, I believe the Wiki has an example like this (a uniqueKey field
not named "id")

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.

If you had looked at the stats before doing a <commit/>, deletesById
would probably be 1.
It gets reset on a <commit/>  cumulative stats are never reset.
