### Uses of MergePolicy in org.apache.lucene.index

Subclasses of MergePolicy in org.apache.lucene.index
Modifier and Type | Class and Description
--- | ---
`class` | `LogByteSizeMergePolicy` This is a `LogMergePolicy` that measures size of a segment as the total byte size of the segment's files.
`class` | `LogDocMergePolicy` This is a `LogMergePolicy` that measures size of a segment as the number of documents (not taking deletions into account).
`class` | `LogMergePolicy` This class implements a `MergePolicy` that tries to merge segments into levels of exponentially increasing size, where each level has fewer segments than the value of the merge factor.
`class` | `NoMergePolicy` A `MergePolicy` which never returns merges to execute (hence it's name).
`class` | `TieredMergePolicy` Merges segments of approximately equal size, subject to an allowed number of segments per tier.
`class` | `UpgradeIndexMergePolicy` This `MergePolicy` is used for upgrading all existing segments of an index when calling `IndexWriter.forceMerge(int)`.
