Shawn Heisey commented on LUCENE-8264:
--------------------------------------
On the dev list, [~yriveiro] replied to this issue. His indexes are up to 15
terabytes. (yowza!)
Reindexing from scratch on an index that big is something you can't just decide
to do one day.
I really like the idea of rewriting all segments without merging them. The way
that IndexUpgrader currently works can cause the LUCENE-7976 problems.

> For the background, see SOLR-12259.
> There are several use-cases that would be much easier, especially during
> upgrades, if we could specify that all segments get rewritten.
> One example: Upgrading 5x->6x->7x. When segments are merged, they're
> rewritten into the current format. However, there's no guarantee that a
> particular segment _ever_ gets merged so the 6x-7x upgrade won't necessarily
> be successful.
> How many merge policies support this is an open question. I propose to start
> with TMP and raise other JIRAs as necessary for other merge policies.
> So far the usual response has been "re-index from scratch", but that's
> increasingly difficult as systems get larger.
