bq: Is there a way to distinguish between when size is being reduced
because of a delete from that of during a lucene merge.

Not sure what you're really looking for here. Size on disk is _never_
reduced by a delete operation, the document is only 'marked as
deleted'. Only when segments are merged are the resources reclaimed,
i.e. the index gets smaller. You can figure out what % of your index
consists of deleted documents by the delta between numDocs and
maxDocs, available on the admin UI and from the Luke handler (and
maybe JMX).

Best,
Erick
