I don't know either, whereas I searched a little and found various good
explanations what segments are, e.g.
https://www.alibabacloud.com/blog/analysis-of-lucene---basic-concepts_594672 but not in which order the segments are being read.
I am nore sure where in the code the segments are being read, but did
you already have a look at the source code?
https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/main/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader.java https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/main/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/index/DirectoryReader.java https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/main/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/store/FSDirectory.java HTH
