> Spun off from LUCENE-4557
> It is desirable to be able to filter segments during merge.
> Most often, full reindex of content is not possible.
> Merging segments can sometimes have negative consequences when fields are
> have different options (most restrictive option is forced during merge)
> Being able to filter segments during merges will allow gradually migrating
> indexed data to new index settings, support pruning/enhancing existing data
> gradually
> Use Cases:
> * Migrate IndexOptions for fields (See LUCENE-4557)
> * Gradually Remove index fields no longer used
> * Migrate indexed sort fields to DocValues
> * Support converting data types for indexed data
> * and so on
> patch will be forthcoming
