Hello! I've got an scenario where I index very frequently on master servers and replicate to slave servers with one minute polling. Master indexes are growing fast and I would like to optimize indexes to improve search queries. However...
1. During an optimize operation, can master servers index new documents? I suppose that is not possible. 2. The optimize operation can take probably minutes, hours... and then will affect to live/production environment because new documents won't be indexed. Should I optimize each slave indexes, instead? What will happen with replication? Will slave servers "loose" index identifiers that allow them to replicate delta documents from master after optimizing them? Will the next replication update slaves indexes overriding the optimized index? Thank you very much in advance. Regards, -- - Luis Cappa
