Hi, as the biggest parts of our jvm heap are used by solr caches I asked myself if it wouldn't make sense to run solr caches backed by terracotta's bigmemory (http://www.terracotta.org/bigmemory). The goal is to reduce the time needed for full / stop-the-world GC cycles, as with our 8GB heap the longest requests take up to several minutes.
What do you think? Cheers, Martin
