public final class IndexWriterConfig
extends LiveIndexWriterConfig
```
Holds all the configuration that is used to create an IndexWriter. Once IndexWriter has been created with this object, changes to this object will not affect the IndexWriter instance. For that, use LiveIndexWriterConfig that is returned from IndexWriter.getConfig().
All setter methods return IndexWriterConfig to allow chaining settings conveniently, for example:
```
 IndexWriterConfig conf = new IndexWriterConfig(analyzer);
 conf.setter1().setter2();
 
```

- Constructor Detail
  - IndexWriterConfig
```
public IndexWriterConfig()
```
    Creates a new config, using StandardAnalyzer as the analyzer. By default, TieredMergePolicy is used for merging; Note that TieredMergePolicy is free to select non-contiguous merges, which means docIDs may not remain monotonic over time. If this is a problem you should switch to LogByteSizeMergePolicy or LogDocMergePolicy.

  - setOpenMode
```
public IndexWriterConfig setOpenMode(IndexWriterConfig.OpenMode openMode)

    Specifies IndexWriterConfig.OpenMode of the index.
    Only takes effect when IndexWriter is first created.
  - getOpenMode
```
public IndexWriterConfig.OpenMode getOpenMode()
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    Returns the IndexWriterConfig.OpenMode set by setOpenMode(OpenMode).
    
    Overrides:
    
    getOpenMode in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setIndexCreatedVersionMajor
```
public IndexWriterConfig setIndexCreatedVersionMajor(int indexCreatedVersionMajor)
```
    Expert: set the compatibility version to use for this index. In case the index is created, it will use the given major version for compatibility. It is sometimes useful to set the previous major version for compatibility due to the fact that IndexWriter.addIndexes(org.apache.lucene.store.Directory...) only accepts indices that have been written with the same major version as the current index. If the index already exists, then this value is ignored. Default value is the major of the latest version.
    NOTE: Changing the creation version reduces backward compatibility guarantees. For instance an index created with Lucene 8 with a compatibility version of 7 can't be read with Lucene 9 due to the fact that Lucene only supports reading indices created with the current or previous major release.
    
    Parameters:
    
    indexCreatedVersionMajor - the major version to use for compatibility
  - setIndexDeletionPolicy
```
public IndexWriterConfig setIndexDeletionPolicy(IndexDeletionPolicy delPolicy)
```
    Expert: allows an optional IndexDeletionPolicy implementation to be specified. You can use this to control when prior commits are deleted from the index. The default policy is KeepOnlyLastCommitDeletionPolicy which removes all prior commits as soon as a new commit is done (this matches behavior before 2.2). Creating your own policy can allow you to explicitly keep previous "point in time" commits alive in the index for some time, to allow readers to refresh to the new commit without having the old commit deleted out from under them. This is necessary on filesystems like NFS that do not support "delete on last close" semantics, which Lucene's "point in time" search normally relies on.
    NOTE: the deletion policy must not be null.
    Only takes effect when IndexWriter is first created.
  - getIndexDeletionPolicy
```
public IndexDeletionPolicy getIndexDeletionPolicy()
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    Returns the IndexDeletionPolicy specified in setIndexDeletionPolicy(IndexDeletionPolicy) or the default KeepOnlyLastCommitDeletionPolicy/
    
    Overrides:
    
    getIndexDeletionPolicy in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setIndexCommit
```
public IndexWriterConfig setIndexCommit(IndexCommit commit)
```
    Expert: allows to open a certain commit point. The default is null which opens the latest commit point. This can also be used to open IndexWriter from a near-real-time reader, if you pass the reader's DirectoryReader.getIndexCommit().
    Only takes effect when IndexWriter is first created.
  - getIndexCommit
```
public IndexCommit getIndexCommit()
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    Returns the IndexCommit as specified in setIndexCommit(IndexCommit) or the default, null which specifies to open the latest index commit point.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getIndexCommit in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setSimilarity
```
public IndexWriterConfig setSimilarity(Similarity similarity)
```
    Expert: set the Similarity implementation used by this IndexWriter.
    NOTE: the similarity must not be null.
    Only takes effect when IndexWriter is first created.
  - getSimilarity
```
public Similarity getSimilarity()
```

    See Also:
    
    setMergePolicy(MergePolicy)
  - setReaderPooling
```
public IndexWriterConfig setReaderPooling(boolean readerPooling)
```
    By default, IndexWriter does not pool the SegmentReaders it must open for deletions and merging, unless a near-real-time reader has been obtained by calling DirectoryReader.open(IndexWriter). This method lets you enable pooling without getting a near-real-time reader. NOTE: if you set this to false, IndexWriter will still pool readers once DirectoryReader.open(IndexWriter) is called.
    Only takes effect when IndexWriter is first created.
  - getReaderPooling
```
public boolean getReaderPooling()
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    Returns true if IndexWriter should pool readers even if DirectoryReader.open(IndexWriter) has not been called.

    getReaderPooling in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setRAMPerThreadHardLimitMB
```
public IndexWriterConfig setRAMPerThreadHardLimitMB(int perThreadHardLimitMB)
```
    Expert: Sets the maximum memory consumption per thread triggering a forced flush if exceeded. A DocumentsWriterPerThread is forcefully flushed once it exceeds this limit even if the getRAMBufferSizeMB() has not been exceeded. This is a safety limit to prevent a DocumentsWriterPerThread from address space exhaustion due to its internal 32 bit signed integer based memory addressing. The given value must be less that 2GB (2048MB)

```
    Convenience method that uses PrintStreamInfoStream. Must not be null.
  - setMergePolicy
```
public IndexWriterConfig setMergePolicy(MergePolicy mergePolicy)
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setMergePolicy in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setMaxBufferedDocs
```
public IndexWriterConfig setMaxBufferedDocs(int maxBufferedDocs)
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    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 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.

  - setMergedSegmentWarmer
```
public IndexWriterConfig setMergedSegmentWarmer(IndexWriter.IndexReaderWarmer mergeSegmentWarmer)
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    Set the merged segment warmer. See IndexWriter.IndexReaderWarmer.
    Takes effect on the next merge.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setMergedSegmentWarmer in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setRAMBufferSizeMB
```
public IndexWriterConfig setRAMBufferSizeMB(double ramBufferSizeMB)
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    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 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() or refresh() periodically yourself.
    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 DEFAULT_RAM_BUFFER_SIZE_MB.
    Takes effect immediately, but only the next time a document is added, updated or deleted.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setRAMBufferSizeMB in class LiveIndexWriterConfig

  - setUseCompoundFile
```
public IndexWriterConfig setUseCompoundFile(boolean useCompoundFile)
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setUseCompoundFile in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setCommitOnClose
```
public IndexWriterConfig setCommitOnClose(boolean commitOnClose)
```
    Sets if calls IndexWriter.close() should first commit before closing. Use true to match behavior of Lucene 4.x.
  - setMaxFullFlushMergeWaitMillis
```
public IndexWriterConfig setMaxFullFlushMergeWaitMillis(long maxFullFlushMergeWaitMillis)
```
    Expert: sets the amount of time to wait for merges (during IndexWriter.commit() or IndexWriter.getReader(boolean, boolean)) returned by MergePolicy.findFullFlushMerges(...). If this time is reached, we proceed with the commit based on segments merged up to that point. The merges are not aborted, and will still run to completion independent of the commit or getReader call, like natural segment merges. The default is 500L.
    Note: Which segments would get merged depends on the implementation of MergePolicy.findFullFlushMerges(MergeTrigger, SegmentInfos, MergePolicy.MergeContext)
    Note: Set to 0 to disable merging on full flush.
    Note: If SerialMergeScheduler is used and a non-zero timout is configured, full-flush merges will always wait for the merge to finish without honoring the configured timeout.
  - setIndexSort
```
public IndexWriterConfig setIndexSort(Sort sort)
```
    Set the Sort order to use for all (flushed and merged) segments.
  - setLeafSorter
```
public IndexWriterConfig setLeafSorter(Comparator<LeafReader> leafSorter)
```
    Set the comparator for sorting leaf readers. A DirectoryReader opened from a IndexWriter with this configuration will have its leaf readers sorted with the provided leaf sorter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    leafSorter - – a comparator for sorting leaf readers
    
    Returns:
    
    IndexWriterConfig with leafSorter set.

    Overrides:
    
    toString in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setCheckPendingFlushUpdate
```
public IndexWriterConfig setCheckPendingFlushUpdate(boolean checkPendingFlushOnUpdate)
```
    Description copied from class: LiveIndexWriterConfig
    
    Expert: sets if indexing threads check for pending flushes on update in order to help our flushing indexing buffers to disk. As a consequence, threads calling DirectoryReader.openIfChanged(DirectoryReader, IndexWriter) or IndexWriter.flush() will be the only thread writing segments to disk unless flushes are falling behind. If indexing is stalled due to too many pending flushes indexing threads will help our writing pending segment flushes to disk.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setCheckPendingFlushUpdate in class LiveIndexWriterConfig
  - setSoftDeletesField
```
public IndexWriterConfig setSoftDeletesField(String softDeletesField)
```
    Sets the soft deletes field. A soft delete field in lucene is a doc-values field that marks a document as soft-deleted if a document has at least one value in that field. If a document is marked as soft-deleted the document is treated as if it has been hard-deleted through the IndexWriter API (IndexWriter.deleteDocuments(Term...). Merges will reclaim soft-deleted as well as hard-deleted documents and index readers obtained from the IndexWriter will reflect all deleted documents in it's live docs. If soft-deletes are used documents must be indexed via IndexWriter.softUpdateDocument(Term, Iterable, Field...). Deletes are applied via IndexWriter.updateDocValues(Term, Field...).
    Soft deletes allow to retain documents across merges if the merge policy modifies the live docs of a merge reader. SoftDeletesRetentionMergePolicy for instance allows to specify an arbitrary query to mark all documents that should survive the merge. This can be used to for example keep all document modifications for a certain time interval or the last N operations if some kind of sequence ID is available in the index.
    Currently there is no API support to un-delete a soft-deleted document. In oder to un-delete the document must be re-indexed using IndexWriter.softUpdateDocument(Term, Iterable, Field...).
    The default value for this is null which disables soft-deletes. If soft-deletes are enabled documents can still be hard-deleted. Hard-deleted documents will won't considered as soft-deleted even if they have a value in the soft-deletes field.
