--------------------------------

> Furthermore, I think this is all contained within IndexWriter, right?
> Ie when we go to "replace/checkin" the newly merged segment, this
> "merge newly flushed deletes" would execute at that time. And, I
> think, we would block flushes while this is happening, but
> addDocument/deleteDocument/updateDocument would still be allowed?

Yes and yes. :-)

> Couldn't we also just update the docIDs of pending deletes, and not
> flush? Ie we know the mapping of old -> new docID caused by the
> merge, so we can run through all deleted docIDs and remap? 

Hmm, I was worried quite a number of delete docIDs could be buffered,
but I guess it's still better than having to do a flush. So yes, this is better!

> If we factor the merge policy out of IndexWriter, we can make it pluggable, 
> making it possible for apps to choose a custom merge policy and for easier 
> experimenting with merge policy variants.
