public SolrUpdateResponse SolrClient::commit ([ bool $softCommit = FALSE [, bool $waitSearcher = TRUE [, bool $expungeDeletes = FALSE ]]] )SolrClient::commit — Finalizes all add/deletes made to the index
-
softCommit -
This will refresh the 'view' of the index in a more performant manner, but without "on-disk" guarantees. (Solr4.0+)
A soft commit is much faster since it only makes index changes visible and does not fsync index files or write a new index descriptor. If the JVM crashes or there is a loss of power, changes that occurred after the last hard commit will be lost. Search collections that have near-real-time requirements (that want index changes to be quickly visible to searches) will want to soft commit often but hard commit less frequently.
-
waitSearcher -
block until a new searcher is opened and registered as the main query searcher, making the changes visible.
-
expungeDeletes -
Merge segments with deletes away. (Solr1.4+)
