Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-5924:
--------------------------------------------
+1, this badly needs to be renamed.
And +1 for -exorcise.
> Rename checkindex's -fix option

> Project: Lucene - Core

> 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.
