Assuming there is an implicit: 0. Open a reader/searcher Then it's expected after step 6 that you have leftover files, because the writers in step 2 and 3 were unable to delete the files since the reader from step 0 still had them open. Once you open a new writer, or commit any changes with the existing writer, the files will be deleted. >>>If the old IndexReader is still open when the optimize completes then the >>>files it has open cannot be deleted. > If reader should not be opened while doing optimize then User cannot perform > search during the time period. It's fine to leave a reader open... it just means the old files will persist until the writer is able to delete them.
