Lucene 4.0 IndexWriter updateDocument for Numeric Term

Question

I just wanted to know how it is possible to to update (delete/insert) a document based on a numeric field. So far I did this:

LuceneManager.updateDocument(writer, new Term("id",  NumericUtils.intToPrefixCoded(sentenceId)), newDoc);

But now with Lucene 4.0 the NumericUtils class has changed to this which I don't really understand. Any help?

Answer 1

With Lucene 5.x, this could be solved by code below:

    int id = 1;
    BytesRefBuilder brb = new BytesRefBuilder();
    NumericUtils.intToPrefixCodedBytes(id, 0, brb);
    Term term = new Term("id", brb.get());
    indexWriter.updateDocument(term, doc); // or indexWriter.deleteDocument(term);
