Adrien Grand updated LUCENE-4752:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-4752.patch

bq. i think it would be way better to provide whatever 'hook' is needed for 
this kinda stuff rather than allow subclassing of segmentmerger. like a proper 
pluggable api (e.g. codec is an example of this) versus letting people just 
subclass concrete things.

Here is a patch that allows for reordering via a simple hook instead of having 
to subclass a class that does concrete things like SegmentMerger. The hook is 
on MergePolicy because I felt like it makes sense to think about doc ID 
reordering at merging time as part of a "merge policy" but it could also be put 
somewhere else or have its own class. (The patch is just here to gather some 
API feedback, I haven't tried to run anything with it yet). Does it look more 
reasonable?

> It would be awesome if Lucene could write the documents out in a segment 
> based on a configurable order.  This of course applies to merging segments 
> to. The benefit is increased locality on disk of documents that are likely to 
> be accessed together.  This often applies to documents near each other in 
> time, but also spatially.
