We need to refresh and hard commit

<autoCommit> <maxTime>1000</maxTime> <openSearcher>true</openSearcher> </autoCommit> <autoSo:Commit> <maxTime>1000</maxTime> </autoSo:Commit>

Maybe we should only refresh?

<autoCommit> <maxTime>60000</maxTime> <openSearcher>false</openSearcher> </autoCommit> <autoSo:Commit> <maxTime>1000</maxTime> </autoSo:Commit>

OK, let’s go easy with refreshing

<autoCommit> <maxTime>60000</maxTime> <openSearcher>false</openSearcher> </autoCommit> <autoSo:Commit> <maxTime>30000</maxTime> </autoSo:Commit>
