Till now I used jetty and got 2 week as the longest uptime until OOM. I just switched to tomcat6 and will see how that one behaves but I think its not a problem of the servlet container. Solr is pretty unstable if having a huge database. Actually this can't be blamed directly to Solr it is a problem of Lucene and its fieldCache. Somehow during 2 weeks runtime with searching and replication the fieldCache gets doubled until OOM.
Currently there is no other solution to this than restarting your tomcat or jetty regularly :-( Am 27.07.2011 03:42, schrieb Bing Yu:
I find that, if I do not restart the master's tomcat for some days, the load average will keep rising to a high level, solr become slow and unstable, so I add a crontab to restart the tomcat everyday. do you boys restart your tomcat ? and is there any way to avoid restart tomcat?
