Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3141:
------------------------------------
bq. The compensation is that they are forced to again look at that code an then
they think about removing the call alltogether.
The proposal simply breaks existing systems (on purpose) on upgrade with no
offsetting gain in functionality, just because we believe some people have made
the wrong tradeoff in their app. This is not the right solution.
We see people making what we believe to be the wrong tradeoffs all the time in
Solr. One example is optimizing for query performance by pumping up cache
sizes to insane levels, pumping up the heap to compensate, and then being
plagued with long GC times. The answer is not to second guess everyone and
break existing configurations. People will continue to make mistakes like
this, and even if optimize was changed to forceMerge, you can be assured that
some people will still make the wrong trade-off in the future using the new
name.
I've thought about this for a while now... please consider this my formal veto
to this change.
