/**
* Retrieve index mergeFactor option
*
* mergeFactor determines how often segment indices are merged by addDocument().
* With smaller values, less RAM is used while indexing,
* and searches on unoptimized indices are faster,
* but indexing speed is slower.
* With larger values, more RAM is used during indexing,
* and while searches on unoptimized indices are slower,
* indexing is faster.
* Thus larger values (> 10) are best for batch index creation,
* and smaller values (< 10) for indices that are interactively maintained.
*
* Default value is 10
