[jira] [Updated] (LUCENE-5693) don't write deleted documents on flush

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5693?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-5693:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-5693.patch

Patch, decoupled from LUCENE-5675.  Tests pass.

The trickiest one was the new TestFieldCacheVsDocValues: it heavily
relies on being able to read deleted docs from postings, which I think
is invalid.

I also had to fix CheckIndex to not verify term vectors for deleted
docs; I think that's fair.

The core fix is easy: FreqProxFields (passed to the PostingsWriterat
flush) just skips the deleted docs.

Also, this uncovered a bug in ToParentBJQ.explain's handling of
deleted docs.

> When we flush a new segment, sometimes some documents are "born deleted", e.g. if the app did a IW.deleteDocuments that matched some not-yet-flushed documents.
> We already compute the liveDocs on flush, but then we continue (wastefully) to send those known-deleted documents to all Codec parts.
> I started to implement this on LUCENE-5675 but it was too controversial.
> Also, I expect typically the number of deleted docs is 0, or small, so not writing "born deleted" docs won't be much of a win for most apps.  Still it seems silly to write them, consuming IO/CPU in the process, only to consume more IO/CPU later for merging to re-delete them.
