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
