DM Smith commented on LUCENE-3454:
----------------------------------
When I started w/ Lucene, I read the docs and was drawn to call optimize
because of its "cool name." However, it was reading the documentation at the
time that convinced me that it was appropriate for my use case:
Creating an index that once created would never be modified. It needed to be as
fast as possible for search on low performance computing devices (old laptops,
ancient computers, netbooks, phones, ...).
Maybe I misunderstood, but wasn't it and isn't it still appropriate for that?
And I have no idea what NooSegments means.
If you want a really uncool name how about dumbDown()?
But either way, please document the appropriate use cases for it.
