Hi Mark, I am still getting an OOM even after increasing the heap to 1024. The docset I have is numDocs : 1138976 maxDoc : 1180554 Not sure how much more I would need. Is there any other way out of this. I noticed another interesting behavior. I have a Solr setup on a personal Box where I try out a lot of different configuration and stuff before I even roll the changes out to dev. This server has been running with a similar indexed data for a lot longer than the dev box and it seems to have fetched the results out properly. This box is a windows 2 core processor with just about a gig of memory and the whole 1024 megs have been allocated to heap. The dev is a linux with over 2 Gigs of memory and 1024 allocated to heap now. :S -Sundar
