Description
Even after reading Javadoc of both, I don't understand why both methods exist and what is the difference between them. There likely should be just one method.
Related to #7287, #6858, #7019.

Research direction
Start by reading the Javadocs for AggregatorFactory.getMergingFactory() and getCombiningFactory(), then review related issues #7287, #6858, and #7019. Done requires reaching and documenting a clear decision about whether the methods differ and whether the API should retain or consolidate them.
