Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SOLR-173: ------------------------------------------ After making the change shown above in solrconfig.xml, a commit is enough to make the number of open file handles grow: curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update --data-binary '<commit/>' -H 'Content-type:text/xml; charset=utf-8' lsof shows that many of these file handles point to files in data/index, which have been deleted during the commit: lsof -p 9563 | grep data/index | wc -l (where 9563 is my solr's process ID) shows 398 file handles after a few commits, although my data/index dir contains only 47 files. So it looks like something is keeping useless open handles to "old" index files after a commit. > "too many open files" with posting to update handler > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-173 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-173 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Bug > Components: update > Affects Versions: 1.2 > Reporter: Ryan McKinley > Attachments: SOLR-173-open-files-bug.patch > > > From brian: > 1) Download trunk/nightly > 2) Change line 347 of example/solr/conf/solrconfig.xml to <requestHandler > name="/update" class="solr.XmlUpdateRequestHandler"> > 3) java -jar start.jar... > 3) Run post.sh a bunch of times on the same xml file...
