Hi Chetra,

The syntax that you're looking for is "/solr/someCoreName/update?rollback=true".

But I'm afraid Rollback might not be quite what you think it is.  You
mentioned: "but it doesn't work, whenever there is a commit the
request still updates on the server".  Yes, that is the expected
behavior with rollbacks.  Rollbacks reset your index to the last
commit point.  If there was a commit right before a rollback, the
rollback will have no effect.

One last point is that you should be very careful using rollbacks.
Rollbacks are going to undo all changes to your index since the last
commit.  If you have more than one client thread changing documents,
this can be very dangerous as you will reset a lot of things you
didn't intend.  Even if you can guarantee that there's only one client
making changes to your index, and that client is itself
single-threaded, the result of a rollback is still indeterminate if
you're using server auto-commit settings.  The client-triggered
rollback will occasionally race against the server-triggered commit.
Will your doc changes get rolled back?  They will if the rollback
happens first, but if the commit happens right before the rollback,
your rollback won't do anything!  Anyways rollbacks have their place,
but be very careful when using them!

Hope that helps,

Jason
