Class MergeScheduler

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.index.MergeScheduler

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ConcurrentMergeScheduler, NoMergeScheduler, SerialMergeScheduler

public abstract class MergeScheduler
extends Object
implements Closeable, Cloneable

Expert: IndexWriter uses an instance implementing this interface to execute the merges selected by a MergePolicy. The default MergeScheduler is ConcurrentMergeScheduler.

Implementers of sub-classes should make sure that clone() returns an independent instance able to work with any IndexWriter instance.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
