Yes, it's a feature!  The CPU is only higher because the threads
aren't blocked on IO as much.
So the increase in CPU you are seeing is a good thing, not a bad thing
(i.e. the number of requests
processed in a given number of CPU busy CPU cycles should be greater
or equal to the old release).

Hi Yonik,

Thanx for the prompt reply. This is a relief :)

Just 1 more question. Wouldn't the 100% CPU load would affect the system, as
system process would starve for the CPU?
 
I tried the load test 1st with 4-cores and then with 8-cores, still the CPU
usage was reaching 100%
We have index of about 32GB with 100+ fields indexed,18 fields stored &
using an optimized index for search

Thanx
Pravesh

Yes, 100% CPU utilization will affect other processes, but
you've created an artificial situation with your load testing,
so I don't think it counts...

What kind of cpu utilization do you see when you simulate your
actual load rather than querying as fast as you can? That's a
more relevant number I think..

Re: High 100% CPU usage with SOLR 1.4.1

Or another way of saying this is - what is the maximum throughput you 
get from the system (qps / indexing speed, etc) since that is what you 
really (should) care about - and how does it compare to the previous setup?

Re: High 100% CPU usage with SOLR 1.4.1

Yes Erick,

I did create an artificial load test with 30 users concurrently doing search
(around 28000 samples of actual queries). With 1.4.1, the test completes
within 3hrs without any failures (with SOLR1.2.1 it wouldn't match with this
performance, i.e., in 3 hrs it could only do 9700 samples). My actual
production load is much less than that(3hrs cycle is actually spans to 24
hrs on production). I will repeat this with actual load now.

Thanx all 4 ur time :)
