> {{IndexSizeTrigger}} can be configured to use {{splitMethod=link}} (SOLR-12730), which uses hard-linking for creating sub-shards.
> However, if the trigger uses {{aboveBytes}} condition the resulting sub-shards will not immediately decrease in size, until all of the deleted documents will be expunged (either by gradual merges or by explicit and costly expungeDeletes command). As a result the new sub-shards will still exceed the {{aboveBytes}} threshold, which will cause the trigger to keep generating new split requests.
> I see two options how to solve this:
> * disallow using {{aboveBytes}} with {{splitMethod=link}}. This unfortunately is a very desirable combination because it monitors the actual index size and uses the fast splitting method.
> * calculate an internal estimate of "eventual index size" for an index with deletions, and use this estimate when checking with {{aboveBytes}} instead of the real index size. This of course introduces a potentially significant estimation error but allows to properly treat hard-linked sub-shards with deletions as (eventually) significantly smaller than the parent shard.
