Thanks for your response Chris. I do see the reviewid in the index through luke. I guess what I am confused about is the field cumulative_delete. Does this have any significance to whether the delete was a success or not? Also shouldn't the method deleteByQuery return a diff status code based on if the delete was successful or not?

When I : execute it I get a status of 0 which means success. I see that the : "cummulative_deletbyquery" count increases by 1 and also the "commit" : count increases by one. I don't see any decrease on the "numDocs" count. : When I query it back I do see that record again. I'm not positive, but i don't think deleting by query will error if no documents matched the query -- so just because it succeeds doesn't mean it actually deleted anything ... are you sure '"rev.id:" + reviewId' matches on the document you are trying to delete? does that search find it using the default handler?
