Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-5038:
-----------------------------------------
The reasoning here is that if I put in flush into the name it implies that this
decision is done at flush time but it might be in the future that we make the
decision earlier ie. before the first doc is added so we can write into the CFS
directly. I don't want this implying API here so I have chosen a different
name. I agree DW is an impl detail and naming is hard :) what about
_NewSegmentsUseCompoundFile_?

> We currently consult the indexwriter -> merge policy to decide if we need to
> write CFS or not which is bad in many ways.
> - we should call mergepolicy only during merges
> - we should never sync on IW during DWPT flush
> - we should be able to make the decision if we need to write CFS or not
> before flush, ie. we could write parts of the flush directly to CFS or even
> start writing stored fields directly.
> - in the NRT case it might make sense to write all flushes to CFS to minimize
> filedescriptors independent of the index size.
> I wonder if we can use a simple boolean for this in the IWC and get away with
> not consulting merge policy. This would simplify concurrency a lot here
> already.
