Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-7733:
--------------------------------------
Yeah, this just removes the admin UI checkmarks, you can still optimize via the
regular APIs.
And the segment count is in both places now, so people who know what optimize
is really doing still have the information available. It's just not as
tempting. I mean who _wouldn't_ want an optimized index ;).
If we bring the button back, we should name it something else. Force Merge
comes to mind. At least that way people might scratch their heads before
pressing the button. Maybe with a confirmation box saying "do you really want
to do this? It make take a long time and is rarely necessary"...
> remove/rename "optimize" references in the UI.

> Since optimizing indexes is kind of a special circumstance thing, what do we
> think about removing (or renaming) optimize-related stuff on the core admin
> and core overview pages? The "optimize" button is already gone from the core
> admin screen (was this intentional?).
> My personal feeling is that we should remove this entirely as it's too easy
> to think "Of course I want my index optimized" and "look, this screen says my
> index isn't optimized, that must mean I should optimize it".
> The core admin screen and the core overview page both have an "optimized"
> checkmark, I propose just removing it from the "overview" page and on the
> "core admin" page changing it to "Segment Count #". NOTE: the "overview" page
> already has a "Segment Count" entry.
