Github user cestella commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/929 You can set it to not manually commit (set `solr.commitPerBatch` to `false` and no committing happens), but you're risking losing data if a worker dies. Honestly, want a durable commit with a fsync before you ack the tuples in a batch, otherwise you're courting data loss. This is the same strategy we do for ES and HDFS (though commit there is a fsync). That being said, I'm sensitive to performance issues around that that people may have, so I let people turn it off with a strong warning in the docs (also this was legacy behavior in the SolrWriter).
