The rest of the sentence is required:
, and if you find you have too many segments over time as you add more and more
data, use a force merge call to reduce the number segments, either manually or
scheduled.

You don’t need a full optimize, you just need to occasionally force merge down
to N segments. You could trigger it after running the mapreduce tool, chron
could trigger it, or whatever.
That’s how you have to handle it currently.
