It may be useful to allow users to throttle merges. A callback that IW passes into SegmentMerger would suffice where individual SM methods make use of the callback. I suppose this could slow down overall merging by adding a potentially useless method call. However if merging typically consumes IO resources for an extended period of time, this offers a way for the user to tune IO consumption and at preferred times free up IO for other tasks.
