Since the flush time now becomes accessible programmatically this is a better additional alternative to just the batch flush. +1 to not triggering a Hibernate core flush. +1 to the name. It says exactly what it does.

[Hibernate Search] session.flushToIndexes() (Emmanuel Bernard) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2008 15:49:02 +0200 From: Emmanuel Bernard <emmanuel(a)hibernate.org&gt; Subject: [hibernate-dev] [Hibernate Search] session.flushToIndexes() To: hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org Message-ID: <611FEB50-98B7-4BEE-B238-0A1168A07B9F(a)hibernate.org&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I never liked the way we work around mass insertion and OOME today hibernate.search.worker.batch_size has many drawbacks - the value is not accessible programatically - it applies to any operations regardless of mass indexing - it is used 99% of the time in close conjunction with a % and session.clear() - the side effect is quite big as the index is "transactionally" committed To replace it, I introduced session.flushToIndexes(); this method manually triggers changes in queue. It does not trigger an hibernate core flush(). This seems more reasonable and will make the code safer. WDYT?
