I am just confirming that shutting down the container causes a
commit when using the DirectUpdateHandler2, correct? For example,
if I index some documents but don't commit them and then shutdown
the servlet container, upon startup those documents will be in the
index as if they were committed, right? I have tested this and it
appears to be the case. This is happening b/c Solr is writing to
the underlying index and not using some temporary index, right? Or
is it b/c there is a shutdown hook that fires a commit command?
It is definitely the case that Solr writes to the main index, and
does not use a temporary index - so if documents have been added but
not committed, they will be "committed" effectively by restarting
Solr and opening a new IndexSearcher.
Further details on this: SolrCore has a finalizer() method that
closes the update handler. I'm not clear on finalizer() though. How/
when is that invoked? I know about Object.finalize(), but not
finalizer().
