Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-1559:
-----------------------------------

Can we close this? With new smarter merge policies since 2009 this is perhaps 
not a big need anymore?

> maxOptimizeSegments should support percentages and negative numbers

> the optimize command currently supports a "maxOptimizeSegments" option which 
> allows an integer to be specified resulting in a "partial optimize" down to 
> that number of segments.
> This requires clients to have some visibility into the current number of 
> segments. Client code could be simpler if there was an easy way to just say 
> "make it smaller by some amount"  
> I propose that we start supporting negative numbers and percentages as a way 
> of saying "optimize down to X segments less then the current value" or 
> "optimize down to X% of the current value"  This could be used by "dumb" 
> automatic monitors when they notice that update traffic is low, or system 
> resources are idle, w/o those monitors needing to inspect the index to pick a 
> good concrete number of segments.
