Hi, > delete document with this id and then add document with the same id.
Yes, this is clearly the way to go. I implemented a similar application myself. However, earlier I stored my ID as a binary field to save space, because I only ever needed to read the value from a found document. With the update logic added, I had to store the ID as text so that Lucene can search for the document to delete. This was annoying because in my application updates are very rare, but the possibility must be there. Storing numbers as text doesn't sound like something a modern application does. So, if it hasn't been asked for before, here comes: It would be nice if Lucene could search by binary fields. -- Mikko Noromaa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - tel. +358 40 7348034 Noromaa Solutions - see http://www.nm-sol.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: jian chen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2005 2:24 AM > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: How do I avoid reindexing? > > > delete document with this id and then add document with the same id. > > Jian > > On 9/10/05, Filip Anselm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > ...well the title says it all > > > > I index some documents - all with the same fields...
