Is it an ok idea to design an app with solr where you assume data will be indexed immediately? For example, after a user uploads an image - immediately use solr to search a collection that will include this new image?

Essentially I'm asking if it ok to call <commit/> often. Up to many times / second from multiple sources.
Really depends on your collection size, the query rate, and what your tolerance is for queries that might take longer sometimes. I'd cut way down or remove any autowarming. If you normally sort by a field, you might want that as a single static warming query. The first sort on a field populates the fieldCache and that can take some time. Is it really the case that stuff needs to be *immediately* searchable (as in, computer immediately), or do you just want a user to be able to search for something they just added (in which case, at least seconds should be OK, not fractions of a second). -Yonik
