Hi, Have you looked at tuning the garbage collection ?
Take a look at the following articles http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2009/09/19/java-garbage-collection-boot -camp-draft/ http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc5.0/gc_tuning_5.html Changing to the concurrent or throughput collector should help with the long pauses.

If I give it less (10GB) it throws the following exception: Sep 5, 2009 7:18:32 PM org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log SEVERE: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl$10.createValue(FieldCacheImpl.java:3 61) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl$Cache.get(FieldCacheImpl.java:72) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl.getStringIndex(FieldCacheImpl.java:3 52) at org.apache.solr.request.SimpleFacets.getFieldCacheCounts(SimpleFacets.java:2 67) at org.apache.solr.request.SimpleFacets.getTermCounts(SimpleFacets.java:185) at org.apache.solr.request.SimpleFacets.getFacetFieldCounts(SimpleFacets.java:2 07) at org.apache.solr.request.SimpleFacets.getFacetCounts(SimpleFacets.java:104) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.FacetComponent.process(FacetComponent.java :70) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchHandler.handleRequestBody(SearchHand ler.java:169) at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase. java:131) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.execute(SolrCore.java:1204) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.execute(SolrDispatchFilter.java:3 03) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java: 232) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler .java:1089) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.handle(ServletHandler.java:365) at org.mortbay.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:216) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.SessionHandler.handle(SessionHandler.java:181) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler.handle(ContextHandler.java:712) at org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.handle(WebAppContext.java:405) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandlerCollection.handle(ContextHandlerColl ection.java:211) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerCollection.handle(HandlerCollection.java:11 4) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:139) at org.mortbay.jetty.Server.handle(Server.java:285) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handleRequest(HttpConnection.java:502) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection$RequestHandler.content(HttpConnection.java: 835) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseNext(HttpParser.java:641) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseAvailable(HttpParser.java:208) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handle(HttpConnection.java:378) at org.mortbay.jetty.bio.SocketConnector$Connection.run(SocketConnector.java:22 6) at org.mortbay.thread.BoundedThreadPool$PoolThread.run(BoundedThreadPool.java:4 42) On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 10:55 AM, Yonik Seeley <yo...@lucidimagination.com>wrote: > On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 9:30 AM, Jonathan Ariel <ionat...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi to all! > > Lately my solr servers seem to stop responding once in a while.
