Hi everyone, I have an index corresponding to ~2.5 million documents. The index size is 43GB. The configuration of the machine which is running Solr is - Dual Processor Quad Core Xeon 5430 - 2.66GHz (Harpertown) - 2 x 12MB cache, 8GB RAM, and 250 GB HDD.
I'm observing a strange trend in the queries that I send to Solr. The query times for queries that I send earlier is much lesser than the queries I send afterwards. For instance, if I write a script to query solr 5000 times (with 5000 distinct queries, most of them containing not more than 3-5 words) with 10 threads running in parallel, the average times for queries goes from ~50ms in the beginning to ~6000ms. Is this expected or is there something wrong with my configuration. Currently I've configured the queryResultCache and the documentCache to contain 2048 entries (hit ratios for both is close to 50%). Apart from this, a general question that I want to ask is that is such a hardware enough for this scenario? I'm aiming at achieving around 20 queries per second with the hardware mentioned above. Thanks, Regards, -- - Siddhant
