To avoid merges to intersect with your serialization logic, it's probably best if you disable them via the NoMergePolicy and handle them yourself or implement you own MergePolicy

Otherwise, this looks like there's an error in your serialization logic.

Existing index files are not updated btw., they are immutable. Only the metadata files are updated. .managed.json and meta.json

Thanks for reminding me that existing index files are not updated; only the metadata files are updated.
