Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3454: ------------------------------------- Yonik: I'm not sure? Jan's comment really hits home at why I opened this issue. I think its worth considering "optimize" command to throw an exception in Solr for this reason... we can add an expert option like mergeIfNeeded instead? I really think optimize is very dangerous because it sounds magical, the kind of thing that tempts new users into getting terrible performance, instead it should be an expert thing. > 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: 3.4, 4.0 > Reporter: Robert Muir > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Attachments: LUCENE-3454.patch > > > 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.
