I saw a similar subject posted earlier. This is not a continuation of that
thread, but the problem is similar. I have a large, fast, dedicated machine,
that despite boosting various parameters in solrconfig.xml (attached) and in
the JVM, utilizes at most 10% of the cpu while importing: (from top)
5817 vufind 46 17 4 4721M 4691M cpu/35 18.8H 8.85%
/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.6.0/bin/sparcv9/java -Xms4096m -Xmx4096m -Xmn2g
-XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+AggressiveOpts
There is 0.0% reported iowait time, 32GB real memory, and virtually no other
processes running. The index is relatively large (8M docs, 30GB), but not
extreme by the standards of others it see in this list. Reported import rates
start a 70 docs per second, and decrease as more records are added. Why is the
program not using the resources it has been given?
