Hi -What happens if updates occur during the optimize?
It blocks. There's been some work on the Lucene side to buffer up to maxBufferedDocs while merges are going on in the background. If optimization takes an hour on a really large index, however, you can only buffer so much. A better option is to perhaps coordinate things so you don't send updates when you do an optimization (of an index this large at least). -Yonik
