The force merge API allows to force merging of the index through an
        API. The merge relates to the number of segments a Lucene index holds
        within each shard. The force merge operation allows to reduce the
        number of segments by merging them.

        This call will block until the merge is complete. If the http
        connection is lost, the request will continue in the background, and
        any new requests will block until the previous force merge is complete.

        Any additional keyword arguments will be passed to
        ``Elasticsearch.indices.forcemerge`` unchanged.
