Also, a lot of answers to soft and hard commits is here as I pointed out before, did you read it? https://lucidworks.com/blog/understanding-transaction-logs-softcommit-and-commit-in-sorlcloud/ Best Erick On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Alexandre Rafalovitch <arafa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Probably merged somewhat differently with some terms indexes repeating > between segments.
