Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-5038:
--------------------------------------------
I'm a little confused: what "decision" are you referring to? Isn't this just
checking the boolean setting?
Or are you talking about a liveness question, ie whether this setting takes
effect "live"?
If it's a live-ness issue, I don't think we need to rename because of that:
other settings are not "live" either. I.e. I think naming it with "flush" is
important because it tells the user that this setting impacts flushing. How
"live" the setting is, is less important for naming I think?
I'd rather not invent new terminology (NewSegment) when we already have flush

> 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.
