Perhaps in separate patch that's limited to field cache merging we can simply modify our existing field cache code (i.e. not rewrite field caching in general) (in conjunction with IW.getReader and segment merging) to automatically (or with a settings callback in IW for which fields should be auto merged)?
+1 - especially if you able to work on it soon rather than later. 831 won't be a reality for some time would be my prediction. It doesn't seem like you would need it to support merging FieldCaches either. You would just prepopulate the new merged segment with values from the previous segments and then those would get garbage collected when no longer referenced right?
