Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-5526:
------------------------------------

On LUCENE-5883 I moved MergePolicy to LiveIndexWriterConfig. This means that 
applications can now do this (to address this issue):

{code}
writer.getConfig().setMergePolicy(upgradeIndexMP);
writer.forceMerge(1);
writer.getConfig().setMergePolicy(origMP);
{code}

I think that's acceptable and adding another API to IW is not needed. This is 
anyway not something that apps do on an hourly basis ...

> {{IndexWriter.forceMerge}} allows to force merges if the number of segments 
> is higher than a configured limit. I would like to have the ability to also 
> force a merge if there is a single segment in the directory. This is possible 
> today by closing the IndexWriter, reopening with a custom merge policy such 
> as {{UpgradeIndexMergePolicy}}, running a {{forceMerge}} and finally 
> reopening again with the original merge policy but this is a bit impractical 
> and if possible I would like to be able to do it without reopening the writer 
> twice.
