---------------------------------------------------------------

I guess I'm confused why NoMergePolicy must override all inherited methods. 
That makes sense for a filter / adapter class -- that is its sole purpose after 
all. But NoMergePolicy simply calls the base class method in many cases; why 
force it to do so? It doesn't have any risk of shadowing since it is not 
supplying its own instance variables

> MergePolicy.getMaxCFSSegmentSizeMB is final, but the corresponding setter is 
> not, which means that overriding it with anything other than a trivial
