Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-91: ---------------------------------- OK, maxWarmingSearchers defines the max number of background warming searchers. Exceed it, and you get a 503 (which goes in the XML, not in the HTTP response code, but that's a different issue): $ curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update -i -d '<commit/>' HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 01:05:41 GMT Server: Jetty/5.1.11RC0 (Windows XP/5.1 x86 java/1.5.0_09 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 115 <result status="503">Error opening new searcher. exceeded limit of maxWarmingSea rchers=2, try again later.</result> if missing in the config, the default is as before (unlimited).

Solr currently detects this and > logs a warning message. > While normally relatively harmless, multiple warming searchers can sometimes > cause thrashing, extending the time it takes to complete warming, and causing > a chain reaction where more and more searchers try to warm concurrently. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
