maxBufferedDocs vs autoCommit->maxDocs

[Bouis, Laurent]

 

Hi,

 

What is the difference between the
<maxBufferedDocs>1000</maxBufferedDocs>, and the
<autoCommit><maxDocs>1000</maxDocs>...</autoCommit> parameters in
solrconfig.xml? 

Do they influence the frequency of flush to disk and document
distribution in segments in a different way?

 

When I did some test with low identical values, I saw similar behavior
in terms of frequency of index data flushed to disk (although the number
of segments sometimes looked a bit different).

 

 

Thanks.
