[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-10392) Handle soft deletes via LiveDocsFormat

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10392?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17536778#comment-17536778 ]

---------------------------------------

[~jpountz]  I am new to Lucene project. This will be 2nd issue. Given that this is a minor task, I would like to create a PR for this. Can you please elaborate the steps needed to tackle this issue ? Also if you can point me to some classes relevant to this patch where I can read more about the existing behavior, that would be helpful. Thank you.

> We have been using doc values to handle soft deletes until now, but this is a bit of a hack as it:
>  - forces users to reserve a field name for doc values
>  - generally doesn't read directly from doc values, instead docs values help populate bitsets and then reads are performed via these bitsets
> It would also be more natural to have both hard and soft deletes handled by the same file format?
