Hi,

I have an index with 35 millions docs in it. every day I need to delete 
some of the oldest docs that meet some criteria.

I can easily do this on the searcher by using search(Query query, int n, 
Sort sort)

but there is nothing equivalent for the deleteDocuments.

what are my options?

thanks,

vincent
