## org.apache.lucene.index
Class LogByteSizeMergePolicy

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.index.MergePolicy
          org.apache.lucene.index.LogMergePolicy
              org.apache.lucene.index.LogByteSizeMergePolicy

    public class LogByteSizeMergePolicy

extends LogMergePolicy

This is a `LogMergePolicy` that measures size of a segment as the total byte size of the segment's files.

Field Detail

### DEFAULT_MIN_MERGE_MB

    public static final double DEFAULT_MIN_MERGE_MB

  Default minimum segment size. @see setMinMergeMB

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### DEFAULT_MAX_MERGE_MB

    public static final double DEFAULT_MAX_MERGE_MB

  Default maximum segment size. A segment of this size or larger will never be merged. @see setMaxMergeMB

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### LogByteSizeMergePolicy

    public LogByteSizeMergePolicy()

Method Detail

### size

    protected long size(org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentInfo info)
                 throws IOException

  Specified by:
    `size` in class `LogMergePolicy`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### setMaxMergeMB

    public void setMaxMergeMB(double mb)

  Determines the largest segment (measured by total byte size of the segment's files, in MB) that may be merged with other segments. Small values (e.g., less than 50 MB) are best for interactive indexing, as this limits the length of pauses while indexing to a few seconds. Larger values are best for batched indexing and speedier searches.

  Note that `LogMergePolicy.setMaxMergeDocs(int)` is also used to check whether a segment is too large for merging (it's either or).

### getMaxMergeMB

    public double getMaxMergeMB()

  Returns the largest segment (meaured by total byte size of the segment's files, in MB) that may be merged with other segments.

  See Also:
    `setMaxMergeMB(double)`

### setMinMergeMB

    public void setMinMergeMB(double mb)

  Sets the minimum size for the lowest level segments. Any segments below this size are considered to be on the same level (even if they vary drastically in size) and will be merged whenever there are mergeFactor of them. This effectively truncates the "long tail" of small segments that would otherwise be created into a single level. If you set this too large, it could greatly increase the merging cost during indexing (if you flush many small segments).

### getMinMergeMB

    public double getMinMergeMB()

  Get the minimum size for a segment to remain un-merged.

  See Also:
    `setMinMergeMB(double)`
