- Method Detail
  - getAnalyzer
```
public Analyzer getAnalyzer()
```
    Returns the default analyzer to use for indexing documents.
  - setMaxBufferedDeleteTerms
```
public LiveIndexWriterConfig setMaxBufferedDeleteTerms(int maxBufferedDeleteTerms)
```
    Determines the maximum number of delete-by-term operations that will be buffered before both the buffered in-memory delete terms and queries are applied and flushed.
    Disabled by default (writer flushes by RAM usage).
    NOTE: This setting won't trigger a segment flush.
    Takes effect immediately, but only the next time a document is added, updated or deleted. Also, if you only delete-by-query, this setting has no effect, i.e. delete queries are buffered until the next segment is flushed.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if maxBufferedDeleteTerms is enabled but smaller than 1
    
    See Also:
    
    setRAMBufferSizeMB(double)
  - getMaxBufferedDeleteTerms
```
public int getMaxBufferedDeleteTerms()
```
    Returns the number of buffered deleted terms that will trigger a flush of all buffered deletes if enabled.
    
    See Also:
    
    setMaxBufferedDeleteTerms(int)
  - setRAMBufferSizeMB
```
public LiveIndexWriterConfig setRAMBufferSizeMB(double ramBufferSizeMB)
```
    Determines the amount of RAM that may be used for buffering added documents and deletions before they are flushed to the Directory. Generally for faster indexing performance it's best to flush by RAM usage instead of document count and use as large a RAM buffer as you can.
    When this is set, the writer will flush whenever buffered documents and deletions use this much RAM. Pass in IndexWriterConfig.DISABLE_AUTO_FLUSH to prevent triggering a flush due to RAM usage. Note that if flushing by document count is also enabled, then the flush will be triggered by whichever comes first.
    The maximum RAM limit is inherently determined by the JVMs available memory. Yet, an IndexWriter session can consume a significantly larger amount of memory than the given RAM limit since this limit is just an indicator when to flush memory resident documents to the Directory. Flushes are likely happen concurrently while other threads adding documents to the writer. For application stability the available memory in the JVM should be significantly larger than the RAM buffer used for indexing.
    NOTE: the account of RAM usage for pending deletions is only approximate. Specifically, if you delete by Query, Lucene currently has no way to measure the RAM usage of individual Queries so the accounting will under-estimate and you should compensate by either calling commit() periodically yourself, or by using setMaxBufferedDeleteTerms(int) to flush and apply buffered deletes by count instead of RAM usage (for each buffered delete Query a constant number of bytes is used to estimate RAM usage). Note that enabling setMaxBufferedDeleteTerms(int) will not trigger any segment flushes.
    NOTE: It's not guaranteed that all memory resident documents are flushed once this limit is exceeded. Depending on the configured FlushPolicy only a subset of the buffered documents are flushed and therefore only parts of the RAM buffer is released.
    The default value is IndexWriterConfig.DEFAULT_RAM_BUFFER_SIZE_MB.
    Takes effect immediately, but only the next time a document is added, updated or deleted.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if ramBufferSize is enabled but non-positive, or it disables ramBufferSize when maxBufferedDocs is already disabled
    
    See Also:
    
    IndexWriterConfig.setRAMPerThreadHardLimitMB(int)
  - getRAMBufferSizeMB
```
public double getRAMBufferSizeMB()
```
    Returns the value set by setRAMBufferSizeMB(double) if enabled.
  - setMaxBufferedDocs
```
public LiveIndexWriterConfig setMaxBufferedDocs(int maxBufferedDocs)
```
    Determines the minimal number of documents required before the buffered in-memory documents are flushed as a new Segment. Large values generally give faster indexing.
    When this is set, the writer will flush every maxBufferedDocs added documents. Pass in IndexWriterConfig.DISABLE_AUTO_FLUSH to prevent triggering a flush due to number of buffered documents. Note that if flushing by RAM usage is also enabled, then the flush will be triggered by whichever comes first.
    Disabled by default (writer flushes by RAM usage).
    Takes effect immediately, but only the next time a document is added, updated or deleted.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if maxBufferedDocs is enabled but smaller than 2, or it disables maxBufferedDocs when ramBufferSize is already disabled
    
    See Also:
    
    setRAMBufferSizeMB(double)
  - getMaxBufferedDocs
```
public int getMaxBufferedDocs()
```

    See Also:
    
    setMaxBufferedDocs(int)
  - setMergePolicy
```
public LiveIndexWriterConfig setMergePolicy(MergePolicy mergePolicy)
```
    Expert: MergePolicy is invoked whenever there are changes to the segments in the index. Its role is to select which merges to do, if any, and return a MergePolicy.MergeSpecification describing the merges. It also selects merges to do for forceMerge.
    Takes effect on subsequent merge selections. Any merges in flight or any merges already registered by the previous MergePolicy are not affected.
  - setMergedSegmentWarmer
```
public LiveIndexWriterConfig setMergedSegmentWarmer(IndexWriter.IndexReaderWarmer mergeSegmentWarmer)
```

```
    Sets if the IndexWriter should pack newly written segments in a compound file. Default is true.
    Use false for batch indexing with very large ram buffer settings.
    
    Note: To control compound file usage during segment merges see MergePolicy.setNoCFSRatio(double) and MergePolicy.setMaxCFSSegmentSizeMB(double). This setting only applies to newly created segments.
