Description

The default autoCommit/autoSoftCommit settings that ship with Solr's default configSet are listed as such:

 
<autoCommit>
  <maxTime>${solr.autoCommit.maxTime:15000}</maxTime>
  <openSearcher>false</openSearcher>
</autoCommit>

<autoSoftCommit>
  <maxTime>${solr.autoSoftCommit.maxTime:-1}</maxTime>
</autoSoftCommit>
 
With "openSearcher" set to false on the autoCommit, and no autoSoftCommit being used, there is little guarantee as to when users can expect to see their documents returned from Solr.
 
We should use a pretty NRT-ish number for the default autoSoftCommit, like 3000.
