You say "Those documents that we updated are not searchable now". I've got to ask the obvious question, did you close and re-open the *searcher* (really, the indexreader you use in your searcher)? I suspect you have, but thought I'd ask explicitly.
I'd also get a copy of Luke (http://www.getopt.org/luke/) and inspect my index after you drop/re-add the data. Actually, have you thought about IndexModifier (I'm using Lucene 2.0). From the javadoc.... <<< A class to modify an index, i.e. to delete and add documents. This class hides IndexReader<file:///C:/lucene-2.0.0/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader.html>and IndexWriter<file:///C:/lucene-2.0.0/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexWriter.html>so that you do not need to care about implementation details such as that adding documents is done via IndexWriter and deletion is done via IndexReader.>>> Best Erick On 8/9/06, Deepan Chakravarthy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, We have to update few documents in our index. We have add a additional field to them. We did as follows 1)read the documents of our interest using IndexReader 2)copy them to a temporary doc object (temp_doc) 3)delete the document in the index 4)close the IndexReader 5)open the IndexWriter 6)add a new field to (temp_doc) 7)add the (temp_doc) to the index using IndexWriter 8)close the IndexWriter The problem: 1)Those documents that we updated are not searchable now. When we perform search based we not find any of those documents we updated. (using IndexSearcher) 2)But we are still able to read the updated documents using IndexReader. Questions 1)When i want to update a document by adding a field, should i reindex all the fields again? will copying the existing document not help and adding new field not help ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
