 Review comment:
   Basically correct except for the last part.
   The merged segment is not loaded as index after merge process done, so there 
is no extra mmap used after the merge process is finished, therefore no 
footprint left.
   
   BUT IF we do load the merged segment as index and replace the hydrant 
segments in the sink, because the new merged segment is not read thus no mmap 
used just after the replacement, the hydrant segments definitely use more mmap 
since there maybe already be queried.
   And another benefit of the replacement is that we can reduce the the file 
number to reduce the inode number. In my case, I'm working one a new scenario, 
I have lots of hydrant segment and better to reduce inode number after merge.
