I do not know whether a graceful shutdown does a hard commit or not. I do know that all versions of Solr that utilize the bin/solr script are configured by default to forcibly kill Solr only five seconds after the graceful shutdown is requested. Five seconds is usually not enough time for production installs, so it needs to be increased. The only way to do this currently is to edit the bin/solr script directly. Thanks, Shawn
