Christine Poerschke commented on SOLR-8621:
-------------------------------------------

[~shaie] wrote in SOLR-5730:
bq. ... How about if we introduce a MergePolicyPlugin/Factory, which would 
allow one to implement whatever MergePolicy he wants (including wrapping 
others).  ...

[~cpoerschke] wrote in SOLR-5730:
bq. I like the idea of a {{MergePolicyFactory}} ... We currently have 
{{mergeFactor}} and {{maxMergeDocs}} elements alongside the {{mergePolicy}} 
element. I would see the {{MergePolicyFactory}} route as an opportunity to 
deprecate the mergeFactor/maxMergeDocs/mergePolicy elements i.e. for a 
transition period users can use the existing/deprecated elements or the new 
mergePolicyFactory element but eventually we will remove the deprecated 
elements. ...
