The situation is pretty much the same as before, just different file names :)

Lucene pre-loads certain "hot" structures into RAM: the terms index
(.tip files), deleted documents (.del files), norms, etc.

For all other files, it relies on the OS to cache any hot pages in its
buffer/IO cache, and it typically reads sequentially so OS readahead
should work well.
