Apologies if I am misunderstanding your question, but the example that it is great for is right after the full indexing of your documents. The indexing likely created many deletes during the process which can accumulate and affect performance over time. If we use `forceMergeDeletes` we can address this issue before we finish the full indexing stage. If we do not wait, then this problem will carry on past our full indexing step, which may not be ideal for some use cases. Without a timeout you have less control over how long your full indexing step takes, and some deletes being addressed is better than none. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
