dovecot - Dec 2012 - doveadm fts optimize undocumented

Subject says all.  Timo, would you write something up where the world
will find it?  Also, it would be great if doveadm fts was covered in the
doveadm manpage.

Thanks,

It runs the Lucene's optimize function with fts-lucene backend. Does nothing
with others. Basically I think it just gathers multiple Lucene index files
together and packs them into a single file, dropping all deleted data (Lucene
documentation has more details I think). Similar to what "doveadm
purge" does to mdbox files. fts-lucene runs the optimize also internally
automatically once in a while, so I'm not sure if that doveadm command
should necessarily even exist.
