Hi, Mike, Thanks for your analysis. You are correct in that BalancedSegmentMergePolicy is used. We previously used LogByteSizeMergePolicy but might have run into some other issues that I was involved in so weren't using it.
Re: TieredMergePolicy, we'll definitely check that out when we update to the latest and greatest, which is a much bigger effort than we can afford right now. Your blog is a great writeup, btw. To get around the issue we have now, we have the option of using SerialMergeScheduler instead and that has been working great for us in the mean time.
