I'm looking into creating something to track the top 10 - 20 searches that run through Solr for a given period.
I could just create a counter object with an internal TreeMap or something that just keeps count of the various terms, but it could grow very large very fast and I'm not yet sure what implications this would have on memory usage. Also, storing it in memory means it would be wiped out during a restart, so it's not ideal. Other ideas I had were storing them in a database table, or in a separate Solr instance. Each method has it's own advantages and drawbacks. Has anyone looked into or had any experience doing something like this? Any info or advice would be appreciated. -Sangraal A.
