Don't you mean ConcurrentMergeScheduler? Keep in mind that if you use the default TieredMergePolicy, mergeFactor will have no affect. You need to use maxMergeAtOnce and segmentsPerTier as sub args to the merge policy config (see the commented out example in solrconfig.xml). Also, it's probably best to avoid using maxBufferedDocs at all. - Mark
