Uwe, we do not have the flexibility to change the implementation to user MMapDirectory, lucene implementation is core to the Sterling 9.0 product (and ships with it).
On heap, the box has 250+ GB, our application's (2) is using close to 68. Also the application internally uses ehcache to cache the lucene index files. And we have configured the ehcache to store all the elements in memory, we did this to minimize disk IO. However it still seems to be doing the RandomAccessFile (used by FSDirectory), do you know what it is attempting to ready? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Contentions-observed-in-lucene-execution-tp4078796p4079428.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
