This should not be a worry. The transaction log should keep everything safe. As I said before, no matter what your intentions with commits are, you do want to have autoCommit with openSearcher set to false and a reasonably long maxTime. I recommend one minute or five minutes, but you will see 15 seconds commonly recommended. I use the longer time because I don't want Solr to be spending a lot of time doing commits. A commit that doesn't open a new searcher is pretty quick, but it still requires CPU/memory/IO resources. Thanks, Shawn
