Hi I have a big problem with one of my solr instances. A commit can take up to 5 minutes. This time does not depend on the number of documents which are updated. The difference for 1 or 100 updated documents is only a few seconds. I am running solr on tomcat 5.5 and java 1.6 on Solaris 10 on Sparc T5220.
The index is about 1.5G and contains ~35.000 documents with several fields of type string which are only stored but not indexed. These stored fields contain 1-5K of data. The retrieval of documents is fast as ever. I did not change the standard values for the main index in the solrconfig.xml. I have optimised the index several times. I do have another 2 solr instances with the same number of documents, but only one of the above mentioned string fields. Here are the indexes about 1G and commits are very fast. Is there a way to see why commits are slow? Has anyone had the same problem and what was the solution that solved it? I can provide my schema.xml and solrconfig.xml if needed. Thanks in advance Uwe
