Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-3454:
-------------------------------------
bq. Perhaps I am the only one, but I find these ifNeeded, mabyeThis, mabyeThat
method names so ugly. I prefer JavaDoc for trying to catch the subtleties.
I feel that way too.
But a name change here seems in place, because as pointed above, there is an
issue with current catchy name *optimize()*.
My personal preference between the names suggested above is Mike's last one:
*forceMerge(int)*:
- it describes what's done
- does not suggest to do wonders
- requires caller to think twice because of deciding to force a certain behavior
> rename optimize to a less cool-sounding name

> maybe rename to collapseSegments or something?
