To commit or not to commit? That is the question on bin/solr post

The way we have set up most boolean options in the bin/solr is that you specific the option to mean "true". Versus doing a "option=true" or "option=false". In the bin/post command, the commit is a explicit true/false, and if you don't specifiy it, then there is automatically a commit. However, with bin/solr post, if you don't specify -commit, then you don't get a commit.

Which makes sense from how the options are laid out "yes I want to opt into a commit", however I suspect the vast majority of users who use the command will immediatly go look for the doc, and wonder why it isn't visible.. which is proably why bin/post commits if you don't specify it.

Our options are to have an explicit -commit=true/false OR we commit by default and have a -nocommit option.

I guess I am leaning towards having a -nocommit as a boolean option, so that wihtout it you get the commit...

Fortunantly optimize story is better. by default we do NOT issue an optimize, but you can do -optimize to requiest that .
