Q: Is it okay for more than one developer to reindex an index at the same time?
A: If more than one developer reindex at the same time, there is a risk that one of the indexes will not be created. Hawksearch currently provides two index slots in the dev environment, and if more than two indexes are created during reindexing, there is a risk that one or more indexes will not be created.

Index set as current cannot be deleted. You cannot delete the current index, you can only swap it. You can set current index from Hawksearch admin page -> Hawksearch Indexes (your-site-domainwebsite-url/Sitefinity/Administration/hawksearchindexes).
Index set as current cannot be re-indexed. If you try to reindex an index that is set to current, a new index will be created with the same suffix but with a different stamp. If the creation of the new index exceeds the maximum number of indexes (2 for development), the new index will not be created and the reindexing will fail.
Once set the current index cannot be undone. There will always be an index set as current in the respective engine.
