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?


Thanks,
Marc
