For an already optimized index calling optimize() is a no-op. You may try this: after opening the writer and setting compound=false, add a dummy (even empty) document to the index, then optimize(), and finally optionally remove the dummy document.
Note that calling optimize() might be lengthy as well for a large index. In any case, try this first on a trial index, and also make a backup of the existing index, just in case. Why do you want to transform the index from compound to non compound form?
