That's right. > How does this play nicely with the transactional semantics given by > commit()? The transactional semantics are still intact... it's just that an NRT reader sees the uncommitted changes, ie, all changes done since the last commit. If disaster strikes (machine/os/jvm crashes, power loss, kill -9, etc.) then on reboot/restart your index will still only show the last successfull commit.
