I do not commit on every update, I call commit once every 10k
documents. Indexing 10k docs takes around 10 secs.

My service is just an indexer, I don't need a reader. The new segments
are pushed to a searcher box after each commit.

pooling not forced -> memory after explicit GC: 50 MB
pooling forced -> memory after explicit GC: 250MB

Thank you for opening the JIRA issue.
