Hi all, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to control the number of segments in an index without explicitly calling forceMerge.
My use-case looks like this: I need to index a static dataset of ~1 billion documents. I know the exact number of docs before indexing starts. I know the VM where this index is searched has 64 threads. I'd like to end up with exactly 64 segments, so I can search them in a parallelized fashion. I know that I could call forceMerge(64), but this takes an extremely long time. Is there a straightforward way to ensure that I end up with 64 threads without force-merging after adding all of the documents? Thanks in advance for any tips Alex Klibisz
