Hello Phil,

Updating the index after deletion - I recommend adding code to the DeleteDataFile, DeleteDataset, and DeleteDataverse commands.
Another option, if possible, is to have a "start index of X" or "update index of X" command, and have these commands issue it after they are successful.

So far indexing has always been an add/replace. Individual Solr documents have never been targeted for deletion.

We need to figure this out for datasets anyway (more on this in a bit) so I'm bumping up the priority and target version.

For datasets, we want the following deletion to happen:

• when a released dataset gets a new draft version, continue to index the dataset as id:dataset_42 but create a new Solr document (private to the group per Deaccession: Allow owner to update forwarding link #3464) called id:dataset_42_draft
• when the draft dataset gets released, delete id:dataset_42_draft

The first Solr documents we started targeting for deletion were dataverses:

e59d123 on dataverse delete, also delete from Solr index #3787

Work on targeting datasets and files for deletion is ongoing in #3795.

I believe this is all set as of the fix in #4129. I just tested in #4040, for example. Passing to QA.

Deleting dataset indexes properly, deleting file does not but opened separate ticket for that: #762

Closing this ticket for clarity.
