Don't. "Optimize" is a poorly-chosen name for a full merge. It doesn't make that much difference and there is almost never a need to do it on a periodic basis.
The full merge will mean a longer time between the commit and the time that the data is first searchable. Do the commit, then search. wunder On Mar 29, 2012, at 4:04 PM, Jamie Johnson wrote: > What is the best way to periodically optimize a Solr index?
