Hello Qingdi, Have you changed the "<useCompoundFile>" setting in solrconfig.xml? In my experience, when using compound-file index ("<useCompoundFile>true</useCompoundFile>"), the size of index grows up to triple during optimization. My understanding is that when writing a new segment in compound format, Lucene writes the multifile format first and then creates the compound index. So in the state immediately before optimization ends the size almost triples.
