-----------------------------------------
NoMergesPolicy - that's exactly what it is, a policy of no merges
> Add NoOpMergePolicy
> -------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-2331
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2331
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Index
> Reporter: Shai Erera
> Fix For: 3.1
>
>
> I'd like to add a simple and useful MP implementation which does .... nothing
> ! :). I've came across many places where either the following is documented
> or implemented: "if you want to prevent merges, set mergeFactor to a high
> enough value". I think a NoOpMergePolicy is just as good, and can REALLY
> allow you disable merges (except for maybe set mergeFactor to Int.MAX_VAL).
> As such, NoOpMergePolicy will be introduced as a singleton, and can be used
> for convenience purposes only. Also, for Parallel Index it's important,
> because I'd like the slices to never do any merges, unless ParallelWriter
> decides so. So they should be set w/ that MP.
> I have a patch ready. Waiting for LUCENE-2320 to go in, so that I don't need
> to change it afterwards.
> About the name - I like the name, but suggestions are welcome. I thought of a
> NullMergePolicy, but I don't like 'Null' used for a NoOp.
