Hi everyone, We have a large product catalogue (currently 9 million, but soon to inflate to around 25 million) with each product have a unicode title. We're offering the facility to sort by title, but often within quite large result sets, eg 1 million fiction books (we are correctly using filters). Aside from the obvious questionable use of sorting over such a large set of results, I'm wondering if there's any steps I can take to optimise title sorting and minimise memory use.
Solr also crashes with OutOfMemoryErrors every couple of days, could this be related to the sorting by title? Or should I be looking for another cause? The machine Solr is on has 8gb ram, 7 of which is given to Solr. We have other sites with larger catalogues and similar spec hardware that aren't having any issues, the title sorting seems to be the only major difference in functionality. I'll be very grateful for any assistance. Regards, Andy Ingram
