             Summary: Rename checkindex's -fix option
                 Key: LUCENE-5924
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5924
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Muir


This option is dangerous. It sounds so good though that people are quick to use 
it, but it definitely drops entire segments.

The commandline flag should be someting other than -fix (e.g. -exorcise).

I dont agree with the current description of the option either. True, it does 
have **WARNING** but I think it should read more like the scary options in 'man 
hdparm'.

Like hdparm, we could fail if you provide it with an even more ridiculous 
warning, and make you run again with --yes-i-really-know-what-i-am-doing as 
well.
