Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-3141:
-------------------------------------

100 segments?

In comparison the numbers for Lucene 2.9 lowered extensively, pre-2.9 
optimizing was often a must, I agree! The problem was Multi* with itsself 
having priority-queue like structures slowing down term enumeration and 
postings rerieval. With Lucene 3.x the difference between an optimized and a 
"standard 8 segment index" was always below measurement uncertainity (see lots 
of benchmarks from Mike on Lucene 4). For standard relevance-ranked or numerics 
sorting there was never a real slowdown.

I am always talking about relevance-ranked results and numerics. With 
StringIndex sorting there is certainly an overhead, but as we support 
sortMissingLast now also for numerics, almost nobody has to use it.

> Background: LUCENE-3454 renames optimize() as forceMerge(). Please read that 
> issue first.
> Now that optimize() is rarely necessary anymore, and renamed in Lucene APIs, 
> what should be done with Solr's ancient optimize command?
