Aaron Greenspan commented on SOLR-7733:
---------------------------------------
I would suggest keeping the button but renaming it "Consolidate" or
"Defragment".
Whether or not it technically is, this sounds a lot like the way people used to
think about disk defragmentation on MS-DOS/Windows 3.1/9x systems. Many people
had heard about it almost as a rumor and believed it would serve as a panacea
for all of their deeply-rooted registry problems, when it really only needed to
be done rarely, had minimal benefits for most, and took a long time.
With that context I think the best way to handle it is to keep the button in,
give it a descriptive name, and provide accurate information: something like
"Expected processing time: 30h27m. Expected efficiency gain: 0.05%." No one
will waste their time on such a tradeoff unless they have a really good reason,
or unless the numbers look reasonable.
> 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.
