Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-7733:
------------------------------------
This could just cause confusion about "where did optimize go?"
The issue seems largely one of education. Optimize (or forceMerge) is a valid
operation and one that can be called for in certain circumstances. Users need
to understand the cost, so they can make the call.
I agree we should get rid of any notion/mention of "unoptimized" though,
including the colors Shawn mentions.
One alternative to straight out removal is to educate the user right next to
the button:
"This optional operation is very expensive and not normally necessary. It will
rewrite the entire index into a single segment"
OR if we have the index size available:
"This optional operation is very expensive and not normally necessary. It will
rewrite all NNN MB of the index into a single segment"
> remove/rename "optimize" references in the UI.

> Since optimizing indexes is kind of a special circumstance thing, what do we
> think about removing (or renaming) optimize-related stuff on the core admin
> and core overview pages? The "optimize" button is already gone from the core
> admin screen (was this intentional?).
> My personal feeling is that we should remove this entirely as it's too easy
> to think "Of course I want my index optimized" and "look, this screen says my
> index isn't optimized, that must mean I should optimize it".
> The core admin screen and the core overview page both have an "optimized"
> checkmark, I propose just removing it from the "overview" page and on the
> "core admin" page changing it to "Segment Count #". NOTE: the "overview" page
> already has a "Segment Count" entry.
