Description

The 'mergeFactor' parameter in solrconfig.xml is parsed by SolrIndexConfig but is not consulted by SolrIndexWriter. This parameter controls the number of segments that are merged at once and also controls the total number of segments allowed to accumulate in the index.

IndexWriter.mergeFactor
