Shawn, my experience with SolrJ in that configuration (no autoCommit)
is that you have control over commits: if you don't issue an explicit
commit, it won't happen. Re lifecycle: we don't use a static
instance; rather our app maintains a small pool of
CommonsHttpSolrServer instances that we re-use across requests. I
think that will be preferable since I don't think the underlying
HttpClient is thread safe?
Hmm, I just checked and actually CommonsHttpSolrServer uses
MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager so it should be thread-safe, and OK
to use a static instance as per documentation. Sorry for the
misinformation.
