Thanks Jaeger. Actually I am storing twitter streaming data into the core, so the rate of index is about 12tweets(docs)/second. The same solr contains 3 other cores but these cores are not very heavy. Now the twitter core has become very large (77516851) and its taking a long time to query (Mostly facet queries based on date, string fields).
After sometime about 18-20hr solr goes out of memory, the thread dump doesn't show anything. How can I improve this besides adding more ram into the system.

It is the number of documents currently in the index (which is kept on disk). Same goes for maxDocs, except that it is a count of all of the documents that have ever been in the index since it was created or optimized (including deleted documents). Your subject indicates that something is giving you some kind of Out of memory error. We might better be able to help you if you provide more information about your exact problem.

One of the core is very big containing 77516851 docs, the stats for searcher given below searcherName : Searcher@5a578998 main caching : true numDocs : 77516851 maxDoc : 77518729 lockFactory=org.apache.lucene.store.NativeFSLockFactory@5a9c5842 indexVersion : 1308817281798 openedAt : Tue Sep 13 18:59:52 GMT 2011 registeredAt : Tue Sep 13 19:00:55 GMT 2011 warmupTime : 63139 . Is there a way to reduce the number of docs loaded into memory for this core? . At any given time I dont need data more than past 15 days, unless someone queries for it explicetly. How can this be achieved? . Will it be better to go for Solr replication or distribution if there is little option left Regards, Rohit Mobile: +91-9901768202 About Me: <http://about.me/rohitg> http://about.me/rohitg
