Hi, Andrea, thank you very much for this suggestion! We were not
optimizing our SOLR index via cron, but are now. We are running DSpace
1.7.2 in production, and it appears that DS-615 made it into 1.7 somewhere
along the way ([dspace]/bin/dspace stats-util -o exists and appears to
work), though the ticket for DS-615 indicates it is scheduled for 1.8.
{scratching my head} This has me a bit worried, and confused, as DS-615
mentions not only the optimization tweak, but the auto-commit tweak. I
believe this part of DS-615 was also included in one of the recent
upgrades (likely at the same time), and a glance at my
[dspace]/solr/statistics/conf/solrconfig.xml file does show that
autocommit is configured there.

I'm thinking that we need include the suggested crontab entry for
optimizing the SOLR index in the documentation, and also include it in the
upgrade instructions for 1.7. I've skimmed both and can't find any mention
of the stats-util command, nor anything about SOLR autocommit.

My main question is, should I be checking anything else, in relation to
this, to ensure things are working as well as they should be?
