A soft commit is just like a hard commit but doesn't do things like resolve
deletes or call fsync on all the files that were written to disk. It will flush
to disk however.
Hard commits are for durability if you are not using the update log. If you are
using the update log, hard commits are abo
grain of salt.

MMapDirectoryFactory should flush everything to disk on a hard commit
and not keep anything in RAM. I *think* that soft commits still end up
in RAM with this implementation, but you'l

Hello,
What actually happens when using soft (as opposed to hard) commit?
I understand somewhat very high-level picture (documents become available
