Steve,
Thanks for the helpful information, the addition of the new document
methods makes things much better.
One more question, is there JSON support in Lucene? JSON is more fat-
free compared to XML and would be preferred. Digester works well for
indexing XML but something along the same lines for JSON would be
even sweeter.
Cheers,
Thom

Where can I see how IndexWriter.updateDocument works without getting
into Lucene all over again until this important issue is resolved?
Is there a sample of its usage for updating specific fields in a
given document?
The updateDocument() functionality was added to IndexWriter in
Lucene v2.1.0 under the aegis of LUCENE-565 <http://
issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-565>, and the discussion there
should help, especially the design overviews (more than one there -
look for Ning Li's 2006-12-18 comment: <http://issues.apache.org/
jira/browse/LUCENE-565?focusedCommentId=12459506#action_12459506>).
Several of Lucene's test cases invoke updateDocument(), e.g.
o.a.l.index.TestIndexWriterDelete.testOperationsOnDiskFull():
<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/java/tags/lucene_2_4_0/src/
test/org/apache/lucene/index/TestIndexWriterDelete.java?view=markup>
Is the update immediate or delayed?
My reading of the way this all works is that IndexWriter buffers
deletes and only writes them out to disk on flush, which can be
triggered by a commit. An IndexReader over this index will only
see a single post-commit snapshot. So there will be a delay: the
IndexWriter must perform a commit, and the IndexReader must be
closed and then opened again (or just reopen()'d, as of Lucene
v2.3.0).
