bq: Actually there are only 2 tlog files but each java process has handles open to tlog.
I'm a little confused by this. Each core in each Solr JVM should have a handle to it's _own_ tlog open. So if JVM1 has 10 cores (replicas), I'd expect 10 different tlogs to be open, one for each core. But I don't expect two processes to have a handle open to the _same_ tlog unless something's horribly wrong. And as Emir and Alessandro point out, every hard commit of any flavor should close the current tlog (for the replica/core) and open a new one. Soft commits have no effect. Oh, and please don't expungeDeletes or optimize if you can possibly help it, there'll be a blog coming soon on why this is A Bad Idea unless you have a pattern where you periodically (I'm thinking daily) update your index and optimize as part of your process. Best, Erick P.S. The reference guide is freely editable. Well, actually they're just files in asciidoc format. It'd be great if you wanted to edit them. I use Atom to edit them as it's free. If you do feel moved to do this, just raise a JIRA and add the diff as a patch. There's also an IntelliJ plugin that will do. I'm heavily editing the Near Real Time page...
