Optimizing an index forces segments to merge. Usually, segments are merged
automatically based on your mergeFactor setting. During a merge documents
flagged for deletion are really purged and the number of segments is reduces
which improves search performance. There are some good pages on mergeF

I've been trying to find a concise explanation of this, and seem to so far
have missed it. (Google, etc). What is the purpose/need to reindex a solr
