/**
 * A {@link MergeScheduler} which never executes any merges. It is also a
 * singleton and can be accessed through {@link NoMergeScheduler#INSTANCE}. Use
 * it if you want to prevent an {@link IndexWriter} from ever executing merges,
 * regardless of the {@link MergePolicy} used. Note that you can achieve the
 * same thing by using {@link NoMergePolicy}, however with
 * {@link NoMergeScheduler} you also ensure that no unnecessary code of any
 * {@link MergeScheduler} implementation is ever executed. Hence it is
 * recommended to use both if you want to disable merges from ever happening.
