  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getAnalyzer

          public Analyzer getAnalyzer()

      Returns the default analyzer to use for indexing documents.

    - #### 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() 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 `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)`

    - #### 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)

    - #### setUseCompoundFile

          public LiveIndexWriterConfig setUseCompoundFile(boolean useCompoundFile)

      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.

    - #### getUseCompoundFile

    - #### isCheckPendingFlushOnUpdate

          public boolean isCheckPendingFlushOnUpdate()

      Expert: Returns if indexing threads check for pending flushes on update in order to help our flushing indexing buffers to disk
      WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

    - #### setCheckPendingFlushUpdate

          public LiveIndexWriterConfig setCheckPendingFlushUpdate(boolean checkPendingFlushOnUpdate)

      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.
      WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
