Hi, I am running solr in tomcat and I have about 35 indexes (between 2 and 80 millions documents each). Currently if I try to update few documents from an index (let's say the one which contains 80 millions documents) while tomcat is running and therefore receiving requests, I am getting few very long garbage collection (about 60sec). I am running tomcat with -Xms10g -Xmx10g -Xmn2g -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m. I'm using ConcMarkSweepGC.
I have 2 questions: 1. Is solr doing something specific while an index is being updated like updating something in memory which would cause the garbage collection? 2. Any idea how I could solve this problem? Currently I stop tomcat, update index, start tomcat. I would like to be able to update my index while tomcat is running. I was thinking about running more tomcat instance with less memory for each and each running few of my indexes. Do you think it would be the best way to go?
