So I am assuming that is not just a matter of "indexing" to that same directory as you "indexed" before.
So, based on what you are saying, you would have to reload the previous index (eg, INDEX_DIR_OLD) and then index the new content. When I mean "index", I am talking about actually invoking lucene to merge the content. For example, it isnt just a matter of indexing to index_dir_old and then to index_dir_new and then copying the lucene index files into another directory index_dir_cur.
