             Summary: remove or fix IndexWriter.tryDeleteDocument
                 Key: LUCENE-6384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6384
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Muir


This method is causing bugs in tests, I think its a trap.

I don't think people understand the semantics of it, and i don't like that its 
difficult for it to return false in tests

So its unlikely to return false in tests, only in production. Broken just like 
java 7 string hashing.

I think we should either remove it, rename it, fix the javadocs let IndexWriter 
create a random and intentionally return false from this method say 1% of the 
time to make it less trappy, something.
