Yes, the Solr autoCommit feature is the right tool for this task. It
lets the indexing app be simple. In some earlier Solr releases, the
"number of documents" feature did not work, so you had to use the
"number of milliseconds" feature.
Note that each commit causes Solr to forget all cached data a
Hi Jerome,
5 seconds is too little using Solr 1.3 or 1.4 because of caching
and segment warming. If you turn off caching and segment
warming, then you may be able do 5s latency using either a
RAMDirectory or an SSD. In the future these issues will be fixed
and less than 1s will be possible.
