According to Lucene documentation around force merges:

Note that this requires free space that is proportional to the size of the index in your Directory: 2X if you are not using compound file format, and 3X if you are.

So we should clarify this documentation part better. I was not sure it's a good idea to mention the distinction between the compound file format, so just kept the upper number (3x).
