Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3454:
-------------------------------------
Yonik: I'm not sure? Jan's comment really hits home at why I opened this issue.
I think its worth considering "optimize" command to throw an exception in Solr
for this reason... we can add an expert option like mergeIfNeeded instead?
I really think optimize is very dangerous because it sounds magical, the kind
of thing that tempts new users into getting terrible performance,
instead it should be an expert thing.
> rename optimize to a less cool-sounding name

> I think users see the name optimize and feel they must do this, because who

> resources.
> maybe rename to collapseSegments or something?
