Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3141:
-----------------------------------
I think when it comes to API breaks, trying to say we can't fix this one
because we can't fix every old little thing doesn't jive. The name is clearly
not a good one, and the call will not be the right move for most people that
upgrade to 4. Having to rethink that will be doing 99% of users a favor.
Changing the name will be doing all future users a favor.
I think 4 should be about getting things right without clinging to old baggage.
We are not talking about the update or request apis here. We are talking about
a very expensive, very poorly named, very little little returns API call that
is certainly over used (and much of the over use is not going to end up on
google).
Making those that upgrade rethink optimize seems like just what the Dr ordered
- we can add it to the release announce, the release notes, etc. Even though I
know exactly what this does, even though i know the price/benefits - I still
want to call this thing at least once a week. It's a terrible name at this
point. Why are we stuck with terrible?
