The index locally setting is used to index directly in HDFS from MR.  The
normal behavior is to index locally the update through the
BlurOutputFormat.  Once complete the index is then copied and optimized in
flight to HDFS where the Blur table is being served.  So when Index Local =
false one or more segments are added to the index.  When Index Local = true
only one segment is added to the index regardless of size.
