Yes, I think this case is handled correctly. Once all searchers using
those old segments are closed, then the next commit that runs will
remove those files (just like it does today).
Unix systems don't have to worry about this.
Windows systems use "deletable" to track what they should try to delete later.
How are you handling it? Get a full directory listing and try to
remove any older segment files?
I agree with the benefits of not requiring locking to open an
IndexReader, but I wonder at the performance cost of the directory
listing needed to "garbage collect" old segment files and to find the
newest "segments.xxx"
