-1. INDEX_COLUMNS: The list of string columns on which lucene creates
indexes.
-2. FLUSH_CACHE: size of the cache to maintain in Lucene writer, if
specified then it tries to
- aggregate the unique data till the cache limit and flush to Lucene. It
is best suitable for low
- cardinality dimensions.
-3. SPLIT_BLOCKLET: when made as true then store the data in blocklet wise
in lucene , it means new
- folder will be created for each blocklet, thus, it eliminates storing
blockletid in lucene and
- also it makes lucene small chunks of data.

also, what does the default value '-1' mean? It means it will use the
maximum size of cache or it will not use any cache?
