Good point. I had been thinking we would keep the current merge policy as a choice that users of ParallelReader could use. But we could in addition give this new merge policy a "switch" as whether size is measured by #docs vs by #bytes. The benefit for users of ParallelReader would then be that the policy takes deletes into account and has freedom to merge adjacent (not just rightmost) segments vs the current merge policy. This seems like the way to go.
