Hi, I am using Solr 4.9 with Tomcat and it works fine except that the deployment of solr.war is too long. While deploying Solr, all webapps on Tomcat stop responding which is unacceptable. Most articles I found say that it might result from big transaction log because of uncommitted documents, but this is not my case.
At first, the Solr data is 280G and the start up time is 30 minutes. Then I set a field to stored="false" and re-index whole data. The data size became 185G and the start up time reduced to 17 minutes, but it is still too long. Here are some numbers I measured: 1) Solr home: 280G tlog: 500K 30 min to start up While starting up, disk read is constantly about 50MB/s (according to dstat). So it seems that Solr reads 30m * 60s * 50MB/s = 90GB of data while starting up, which is 30% of index data size. 2) Solr home: 185G tlog: 5M 17 minutes to start up While starting up, disk read is constantly about 5MB/s (according to dstat). So it seems that Solr reads 17m * 60s *5MB/s = 5GB of data while starting up, which is about 3% of index data size. p.s. I did commit each time 1000 documents being added and did optimization after all documents are added. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Po-Yu
