Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-4752:
------------------------------------
When I thought about AtomicReaderFactory I thought about something that returns
a single AtomicReader. IW-wise, that makes more sense (as an API) than
something that reorders a list of segments. Reordering can be left to things
like MergePolicy. In fact, I took a look at MP API, and maybe if we change
OneMerge from holding a {{List<SegmentReader>}} to {{List<AtomicReader>}}, we
could write an MP which sorts segments together by opening a
SortingAtomicReader over the segments that were picked for merge?
I think, if we do that, we don't need any hook on IWC
({{AtomicReaderFactory}}), although that might be useful in other cases, but
outside the scope of this issue. All we'll need is a SortingMP?

> It would be awesome if Lucene could write the documents out in a segment
> based on a configurable order. This of course applies to merging segments
> to. The benefit is increased locality on disk of documents that are likely to
> be accessed together. This often applies to documents near each other in
> time, but also spatially.
