[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-3141) Deprecate OPTIMIZE command in Solr
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3141?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13679641#comment-13679641 ]
Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-3141:
------------------------------------
Before I read HossMan's proposals thoroughly, I had these thoughts:
---
I would support removing the optimize button from the GUI, or at least removing it from the Overview page. Keeping it on the CoreAdmin page would not be a bad thing, optionally with at least one confirmation dialog that reminds the user that optimization is not normally required.
Deprecating "optimize" from the GUI and the API in favor of forceMerge would not make me upset either, as long as it continued to work through all 4.x versions. Based on what happened with waitFlush and the PHP Solr API packages after the 4.0 release, this is a dangerous path, but if we kept optimize around until 6.0, perhaps it might be OK.
---
After reading the proposals, I think there might be a small amount of merit in my ideas, but his ideas are safer.

> Now that optimize() is rarely necessary anymore, and renamed in Lucene APIs, what should be done with Solr's ancient optimize command?
