Property MaxMergeDocs

Gets or sets the largest segment (measured by document count) that may be merged with other segments.

Determines the largest segment (measured by document count) that may be merged with other segments. Small values (e.g., less than 10,000) 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.

The default value is .

The default merge policy (LogByteSizeMergePolicy) also allows you to set this limit by net size (in MB) of the segment, using MaxMergeMB.
