### Description Using IndexWriter's `forceMergeDeletes` to eliminate merge debt is a very useful feature -- especially during initial indexing. However, larger indexes can require 20+ minutes to finish a `forceMergeDeletes` call. It would be a useful feature if we add an API for specifying a timeout for the existing `doWait` argument. Instead of blocking until `forceMergeDeletes` finishes, we should block until either `forceMergeDeletes` finishes or the timeout is reached, whichever comes first. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
