Is it possible to delete by docId in lucene 4? I can delete by docid in lucene 3 using IndexReader.deleteDocument(int docId), but that method is gone in lucene 4, and IndexWriter only allows deleting by Term or Query.
This is our use case - In our system, each document is identified by a unique serial id. If an error occurs, we may index the same message multiple times. When an index grows large enough, we stop adding to it, and optimize the index. During optimization, if we see multiple docs with the same serialid, we delete all but the first, as all documents with the same serialid are the same.
