Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-3061:
------------------------------------
I don't think they are experimental though -- they exist for ages. We only made
them public.
I get your point - you don't think we should commit to this API signature, but
IMO we should -- if MS is a valid extension point by applications, we must
support this API, otherwise MS cannot be extended at all. Also, getNextMerge()
jdoc specifies "Expert: the MergeScheeduler calls this method ..." - this kind
of makes this API public long time ago, only it wasn't.
> Open IndexWriter API to allow custom MergeScheduler implementation

> IndexWriter's getNextMerge() and merge(OneMerge) are package-private, which
> makes it impossible for someone to implement his own MergeScheduler. We
> should open up these API, as well as any other that can be useful for custom
> MS implementations.
