Optimize

[Gargate, Siddharth]

Hi all,

                I am not sure how to call optimize on the existing
index. I tried with following URL

http://localhost:9090/solr/update?optimize=true

 

With this request, the response took a long time, and the index folder
size doubled. Then again I queried the same URL and index size reduced
to actual size and I got the response immediately. 

Is this expected behavior? Is there any other way to call optimize?

 

Thanks,

Siddharth
