-------------------------------------------------------------

+1 to not change the default in CMS, and commit jdocs, but I have two minor 
comments: (1) maybe change "lower than the default of 8" to "lower than the 
default of \{@value ...\}"? (2) instead of {{&lt ;=}} you can just use {{&le 
;}}?

> The default value for maxMergeCount in ConcurrentMergeScheduler is 2.  This 
> causes problems for Solr's dataimport handler when very large imports are 
> done from a JDBC source.
> What happens is that when three merge tiers are scheduled at the same time, 
> the add/update thread will stop for several minutes while the largest merge 
> finishes.  In the meantime, the dataimporter JDBC connection to the database 
> will time out, and when the add/update thread resumes, the import will fail 
> because the ResultSet throws an exception.  Setting maxMergeCount to 6 
> eliminates this issue for virtually any size import -- although it is 
> theoretically possible to have that many simultaneous merge tiers, I've never 
> seen it.
> As long as maxThreads is properly set (the default value of 1 is appropriate 
> for most installations), I cannot think of a really good reason that the 
> default for maxMergeCount should be so low.  If someone does need to strictly 
> control the number of threads that get created, they can reduce the number.  
> Perhaps someone with more experience knows of a really good reason to make 
> this default low?
> I'm not sure what the new default number should be, but I'd like to avoid 
> bikeshedding.  I don't think it should be Integer.MAX_VALUE.
