Thank you for the quick response.
But I still can delete that document - based on docId right? I understand
docId may change from time to time,
but if I iterate a bunch of docs and then fetch the docId from the doc I
want to delete and then delete that doc will it still work?

No, you don't need a key for append-only usage.
Lucene itself doesn't care if you have a unique key per document, and
in fact it's very costly, especially if your documents are otherwise
tiny, to add one if you don't really need it.

Hello,
Do I need to add a key, if I will not be
a. updating the document
b. will not fetch the document by key?
What could be the possible downside of not using a key that uniquely
identifies the document?
I am building a log processor, and all I will do is sort and iterate.
Best regards,
C.
