doh!  type-o in the JNI method name.  ugh.  I'll get this fixed and 
send a patch.

I guess the question is "why?" would it try to do that?  Is it a bug in 
Quartz, am I doing something wrong, or was it a solar flare?  Does 
.replace_document() do anything special/tricky above and beyond a 
.delete_document() + .add_document() (other than re-use the existing 
docid)?

we'll do this once the job finishes.  We've got other indexes to update 
as well, and need to wait out the storm on this index first.

We've discussed this internally, and are hesitant to upgrade to 0.8.0 
on our production systems.  But it is an option we're reserving.  Also, 
I've done no testing with the JNI stuff against 0.8.0.
