I'd like to open up the API to mergeSegments() in IndexWriter and am wondering if there are potential problems with this.
I'm worried that opening up mergeSegments() could easily break the invariants currently guaranteed by the new merge policy(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-672). The two invariants say that if M does not change and segment doc count is not reaching maxMergeDocs: B for maxBufferedDocs, f(n) defined as ceil(log_M(ceil(n/B))) 1: If i (left*) and i+1 (right*) are two consecutive segments of doc counts x and y, then f(x) >= f(y). 2: The number of committed segments on the same level (f(n)) <= M.
