Description

Each Segment object keeps track of information about a single index segment:
its fields, document count, and so on. The Segment object itself writes one
file, "segmeta.json"; besides storing info needed by Segment itself, the
"segmeta" file serves as a central repository for metadata generated by other
index components – relieving them of the burden of storing metadata
themselves.
