In addition to periodic merging, you can force a segment merge using the Force Merge API.

Use the Force Merge API on an index only after all write requests sent to the index are completed. Force merge can produce very large segments. If write requests are still sent to the index, then the merge policy does not merge these segments until they primarily consist of deleted documents. This can increase disk space usage and lead to performance degradation.
