> {{IndexSizeTrigger}} can be configured to use {{splitMethod=link}}
> (SOLR-12730), which uses hard-linking for creating sub-shards.
> However, if the trigger uses {{aboveBytes}} condition the resulting
> sub-shards will not immediately decrease in size, until all of the deleted
> documents will be expunged (either by gradual merges or by explicit and
> costly expungeDeletes command). As a result the new sub-shards will still
> exceed the {{aboveBytes}} threshold, which will cause the trigger to keep
> generating new split requests.
> I see two options how to solve this:
> * disallow using {{aboveBytes}} with {{splitMethod=link}}. This
> unfortunately is a very desirable combination because it monitors the actual
> index size and uses the fast splitting method.
> * calculate an internal estimate of "eventual index size" for an index with
> deletions, and use this estimate when checking with {{aboveBytes}} instead of
> the real index size. This of course introduces a potentially significant
> estimation error but allows to properly treat hard-linked sub-shards with
> deletions as (eventually) significantly smaller than the parent shard.
