Actually, it's not quite equivalent if there was a schema change. There are some "sticky" field properties that are per-segment global. For example, if you added omitNorms="true" to a field, then did delete *:* and reindexed, you would most likely still end up with norms in your index because of how segments are merged. -Yonik
