Hi Michael:
Thanks for the pointer!
Pardon my ignorance, but I am still no seeing the connection between
this api to per/segment loading of FieldCache. (the api takes in an
IndexReader instead of maybe SegmentReader[])
Can you point me to maybe the default impl of IndexReaderWarmer to
help me understand?
Thanks
