Yes. I can guarantee that a force merge will not "massively help". It might not even measurably help. wunder On Nov 4, 2012, at 1:05 PM, Otis Gospodnetic wrote: > Measure / monitor first :) > You may not need to optimize at all, especially if your index is always > being modified. > > Otis > -

Or, don't "optimize" (force merge) at all. Really. This is a manual override for an automatic process, merging. I can only think of one case where a forced merge makes sense: 1. All documents are reindexed. 2. Traditional Solr replication is used (not SolrCloud). 3. Replication is manually timed
