Let's see...
1> Committing every second, even with commitWithin is probably going
to be a problem.
I usually think that 1 second latency is usually overkill, but
that's up to your
product manager. Look at the NRT (Near Real Time) stuff if you
really need this.
I thought that NRT was only on trunk, but it *might* be in the
3.4 code base.
2> Don't understand what "a single index per entity" is. How many cores do you
have total? For not very many records, I'd put everything in a
single index and
use filterqueries to restrict views.
3> I guess this relates to <2>. And I'd use a single core. If, for
some reason, you decide
that you need multiple indexes, use several cores with ONE Solr
rather than start
a new Solr per core, it's more resource expensive to have
multiple JVMs around.
