The presence or absence of docValues does not change commits at all. A commit is a separate operation from indexing, although you can send commit=true with an indexing request and it would be started as soon as all the indexing for that request is done. https://lucidworks.com/blog/2013/08/23/understanding-transaction-logs-softcommit-and-commit-in-sorlcloud/ The URL above says "SolrCloud" but what it says also applies to non-cloud installs.
