If you delete the index using DELETE API, does it clear the fielddata / cache? Or is it suggested that we stop the index before deleting it? I want to make sure that we don't keep increasing memory footprint (JVM/ OS Memory) forever. Thanks so much.

ok :-). Default is way to high for most of the cases for our system.

If you get a chance to look at this question, I would really appreciate that.
