I don't think autocommit is deprecated, it's just commented out of the config and using commitWithin (assuming you're working from SolrJ) is preferred if possible.
But what governs "a particular set of docs"? What are the criteria that determine when you want to commit? Flushes and commits are orthogonal. A segment is kept open through multiple flushes. That is, there can be many flushes and the documents still aren't searchable until the first commit (but it sounds like you're aware of that). Have you tried using autocommit? And what version of Solr are you using? And finally, what is your use case for frequent commits? If you're going after NRT functionality, have you looked at the NRT stuff in 4.x?
