Ben,
If you know the exact terms you want to delete, you can do it without querying:
IndexReader reader = IndexReader.open(indexDir);
Term deleteTerm = new Term("yyyymmdd", yyyymmdd);
reader.delete(deleteTerm);
If you are using a lucene date field, I think you'll have to enumerate
through all the dates that you want to delete. You can use
reader.terms(Term) to get an enumeration of terms.
