Hi* *Furkan,
That was my flip way of saying that "Optimize" is a highly optional
procedure that should not be undertaken under ordinary circumstances. Solr
has no way of detecting whether this is necessary because in the vast
majority of cases, it's not. If you do a search of this list, you'll find a
lot of discussion of why it's no longer necessary. There's even a JIRA to
remove it from Solr: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3141
I really liked the LHC page. :) Michael is correct here. If you look
through that JIRA, you'll see that there are still very valid reasons
for doing an optimize, but the age-old reason of "improving performance"
is not one of them.
I've put some additional thoughts on the JIRA.
Thanks,
Shawn
