(https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/external/storm-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/storm/hdfs/bolt/AbstractHdfsBolt.java#L154) The benefit of that approach is to eliminate duplicate code (i.e. that calls to ackCommittedTuples() and solrClient.commit()), which I think is a substantial benefit. Here that would looks something like: ```code if (forceCommit || commitStgy.commit()) { solrClient.commit(solrMapper.getCollection()); ackCommittedTuples(); } ``` With duplicate code removed I would be +1 A unit test would also be helpful. HdfsBolt example is here: https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/external/storm-hdfs/src/test/java/org/apache/storm/hdfs/bolt/TestHdfsBolt.java#L175
