search - Optimal Solr JVM/Virtual/Physical Memory Configuration -


our company has several different ways of getting leads, , several types of leads deal with. there slight differences between each type of lead , of information shared or related 1 or more other lead types. me , team trying build/configure index using solr handles each of these lead types , shared data .. customer data, resort data. etc (around 1.2 million records in all). we're hosting ubuntu server (12g ram, 8 core opteron), running tomcat 6 , solr 3.4.

i'd index add records in live time when customer submits lead-gen form on our website(around 1500-2000 daily), update when employees add or modify data (around 2500-3000 times daily).

in addition need customers on website , employees in house able search data filters, facets, auto-completes, highlighting , stuff 1 has come expect written search.

this setup functioning, hangs updating records both on website , in our internal apps. commits done every 1000 documents or 5 seconds , optimize once daily. optimal jvm, server or solr configurations type of setup? appreciated , can provide information needed willing help.

first, you should not optimize.

there 2 common erros when configuring jvm heap size in solr:

  • giving memory jvm, (the os cache won't able cache disk operations),
  • giving not enough memory jvm (there lot of pressure on garbage collector forced run frequent stop-the-world collections, use jmx monitoring figure out whether full gc triggered).

one other reason why application may hang background merges. lucene based on segments, , whenever number of segments gets higher mergefactor, merge triggered. low value of mergefactor might explain hangs.

you should give more details on current setup can you:

  • jvm size,
  • what collector using (g1, throughput collector, concurrent low pause collector, ...)
  • index size (on disk, not number of documents),
  • mergefactor, rambuffersizemb, ...
