Hi All, First of all, what I was actually trying to do is actually get a little space back. So if there is a better way to do this by adjusting the MergePolicy or something else please let me know. My index is currently 200Gb. In the past (Solr 1.4) we've found that optimizing the index will double the size of the index temporarily then usually when it's done we end up with a smaller index and slightly faster search query times.
Should I even bother optimizing? My impression was that with the TieredMergePolicy this would be less necessary. Would merging segments into larger ones save any space and if so is there a way to tell solr to do that? Thanks Brendan
