That just tells Solr that within the specified number of milliseconds, a 
commit will begin.  I am not sure whether the timer starts when the 
update does, or whether the timer starts when the update finishes.

The problems that DBQ has are inherent to the way DBQ works.  I only 
understand WHAT happens, not WHY.

If you change a DBQ to a multistep process where you first run the query 
to get the list of uniqueKey values, and then use that information to 
execute DeleteById updates, then the "interfering with ongoing indexing" 
that DBQ can cause will not happen.
