IndexWriter.setMaxMergeDocs gives non-backwards-compatible exception "out of the box" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1013 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1013 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Bug Components: Index Affects Versions: 2.3 Reporter: Michael McCandless Assignee: Michael McCandless Fix For: 2.3 Yonik hit this (see details in LUCENE-994): because we have switched to LogByteSizeMergePolicy by default in IndexWriter, which uses MB to limit max size of merges (setMaxMergeMB), when an existing app calls setMaxMergeDocs (or getMaxMergeDocs) it will hit an IllegalArgumentException on dropping in the new JAR. I think the simplest solution is to fix LogByteSizeMergePolicy to allow setting of the max by either MB or by doc count, just like how in LUCENE-1007 allows flushing by either MB or docCount or both. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
