Mark Miller commented on SOLR-1580: ----------------------------------- Looks like this was dropped a commit or two ago: r817650 SOLR-1447 Should prob just be reverted to what it was - not sure we need to try and cap it and it needs the LogMergePolicy check. Though the >0 check makes a bit more sense to me than != -1. if (config.mergeFactor != -1 && getMergePolicy() instanceof LogMergePolicy) { setMergeFactor(config.mergeFactor); } > Solr Configuration ignores 'mergeFactor' parameter, always uses Lucene default > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SOLR-1580 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1580 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Bug > Components: update > Affects Versions: 1.4 > Reporter: Lance Norskog > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.5 > > Attachments: SOLR-1580.patch > > > The 'mergeFactor' parameter in solrconfig.xml is parsed by SolrIndexConfig > but is not consulted by SolrIndexWriter.
