Method OnInit
OnInit<T>(IList<T>)
this is called once when a writer is first instantiated to give the policy a chance to remove old commit points.
The writer locates all index commits present in the index directory and calls this method. The policy may choose to delete some of the commit points, doing so by calling method Delete().
Note: the last CommitPoint is the most recent one, i.e. the "front index state". Be careful not to delete it, unless you know for sure what you are doing, and unless you can afford to lose the index content while doing that.
