Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3454: -------------------------------------------- How about maybeMerge() and maybeMerge(int maxSegCount) (since we have to absorb optimize(int maxSegCount) too)? This way what used to be optimize is now maybeMerge(1). I like that this forces the user to make an explicit decision about how many segments they require the index to merge down to, so they realize by picking 1 they are asking for tons of merging. > rename optimize to a less cool-sounding name > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-3454 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3454 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 4.0 > Reporter: Robert Muir > > I think users see the name optimize and feel they must do this, because who > wants a suboptimal system? but this probably just results in wasted time and > resources. > maybe rename to collapseSegments or something? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
