Is this a testcase (using the solrconfig.xml from the test directory)?
If so, I recently changed the settings to create more segments - too
many cases were resulting in a single segment, which isn't as good for
test coverage.

mergeFactor 10 means a maximum of 10 segments at each "level".
if maxBufferedDocs=10 with a log doc merge policy (equivalent to
Lucene in the old days), then you could have up to ~ 10*log10(nDocs)
segments in the index (i.e. up to 60 segments for a 1M doc index).
