Problems with maxMergeDocs parameter
------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1012
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1012
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Michael Busch
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.3


I found two possible problems regarding IndexWriter's maxMergeDocs value. I'm 
using the following code to test maxMergeDocs:

{code:java} 
  public void testMaxMergeDocs() throws IOException {
    final int maxMergeDocs = 50;
    final int numSegments = 40;
    
    MockRAMDirectory dir = new MockRAMDirectory();
    IndexWriter writer  = new IndexWriter(dir, new WhitespaceAnalyzer(), true); 
     
    writer.setMergePolicy(new LogDocMergePolicy());
    writer.setMaxMergeDocs(maxMergeDocs);

    Document doc = new Document();
    doc.add(new Field("field", "aaa", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.TOKENIZED, 
Field.TermVector.WITH_POSITIONS_OFFSETS));
    for (int i = 0; i < numSegments * maxMergeDocs; i++) {
      writer.addDocument(doc);
      //writer.flush();      // uncomment to avoid the DocumentsWriter bug
    }
    writer.close();
    
    new SegmentInfos.FindSegmentsFile(dir) {

      protected Object doBody(String segmentFileName) throws 
CorruptIndexException, IOException {

        SegmentInfos infos = new SegmentInfos();
        infos.read(directory, segmentFileName);
        for (int i = 0; i < infos.size(); i++) {
          assertTrue(infos.info(i).docCount <= maxMergeDocs);
        }
        return null;
      }
    }.run();
  }
{code} 
  
- It seems that DocumentsWriter does not obey the maxMergeDocs parameter. If I 
don't flush manually, then the index only contains one segment at the end and 
the test fails.

- If I flush manually after each addDocument() call, then the index contains 
more segments. But still, there are segments that contain more docs than 
maxMergeDocs, e. g. 55 vs. 50. The javadoc in IndexWriter says:
{code:java}
   /**
   * Returns the largest number of documents allowed in a
   * single segment.
   *
   * @see #setMaxMergeDocs
   */
  public int getMaxMergeDocs() {
    return getLogDocMergePolicy().getMaxMergeDocs();
  }
{code}
