It runs the Lucene's optimize function with fts-lucene backend. Does nothing with others. Basically I think it just gathers multiple Lucene index files together and packs them into a single file, dropping all deleted data (Lucene documentation has more details I think). Similar to what "doveadm purge" does to mdbox files. fts-lucene runs the optimize also internally automatically once in a while, so I'm not sure if that doveadm command should necessarily even exist.
