I only have one core, 'dovecot'. This is a pretty standard config. How do I stop it from doing all these 'Optimizes' ? Is there an automatic process that triggers them ?

It works great but after about 2 days of indexing, I've pressed the 'Optimize' button. At that point it had collected about 17 million documents and it was taking up about 60-70GB of space.
It completed once and the space dropped down to 30-45GB but since then it appears to be doing Optimize again on its own, regularly swelling up the total space used to double, then it shrinks again, stays a bit that way then it starts another optimize! Are you running in SolrCloud mode with multiple replicas and/or multiple shards? If so, SolrCloud does optimize a little differently than standalone mode. It will optimize every core in the entire collection, one at a time, regardless of which actual core receives the optimize request. In standalone mode, only the specific core you run the command on will be optimized. Thanks, Shawn
