You never get full control of commits, as Solr will auto-commit anyway whenever 
the (configurable) input buffer is full. With the current architecture you 
cannot really trust adds or commits to 100% certainly be successful, because 
the server may have been restarted between an add and commit() without you 
noticing etc. So your feeder app should expect failures to happen, including 
added docs to be committed, and be prepared to re-sumbit any documents needed 
after a failure. This can be achieved by querying the index at regular 
intervals to see if you are in sync. Or you could help implement SOLR-1924 to 
get a reliable callback mechanism :)
