Exactly. In elasticsearch, there can be several shards (each a Lucene index)
running in the same VM. You can configure that you want 10% of the heap to be
allocated to indexing, and it will automatically distribute it between all the
shards by dynamically changing that value on each IndexWriter.

I think most can, and should, be set on the MergePolicy itself. The two that I
miss as well are settings the term index interval, and reader terms divisor.
