A realtime searcher is necessary for internal bookkeeping / uses if a
normal searcher isn't opened on a commit.
This searcher doesn't have caches and hence doesn't carry the weight
that a normal searcher would. It's also invisible to clients (it
doesn't change the view of the index for normal searches).
Your hard autocommit at 8 minutes with openSearcher=false will trigger
a realtime searcher to open on every 8 minutes along with the hard
commit.
