Jack, 



I have some data indexed that I don’t need any more. My question is if I can 
delete the field definition from the schema.xml and do an optimize and the 
fields “magically” disappears (and free space from disk).




Re-index data to delete fields is to expensive in collections with hundreds of 
millions of documents.




Optimize operation seems to be a good place to shrink to documents ...
