On Unix you can delete the file but it's contents would not be removed
till application that is keeping file open would close it.
Just look at the disk usage change after deletion and after shutting
down searchers.

My question was buried in another thread so I'll pull it out here.
Can someone help clarify?
Does the searcher load everything into memory, including segments, on
startup? Because it seems that if I delete segments or replace them
while the
searcher is running, it doesn't affect the search result. But if it
does load everything into memory, isn't that a LOT of memory we are
talking
about?
Thanks!
