Hi all, I'm having two problem with our solr implementation. I don't have a lot of detail about them because we're just starting to get into diagnosing them. I'm hoping for some help with that diagnosis, ideas, tips, whatever.
Our stack: Rails Sunspot Solr sunspot_index_queue two solr servers, master and slave, all traffic currently going to master, slave is just a replication slave/backup. The first and biggest problem is that we occasionally "lose" updates. Something will get added to the database, it will trigger a solr update, but then we can't search for that thing. It's just gone. indexing that thing again will have it show up. There are a number of moving parts in our stack and this is a relatively new problem. It was working fine for 1.5 years without a problem. We're considering adding a delayed job that will index anything that is newly created a second after it is created just to "be sure" but this is a giant hack. Any ideas around this would be helpful. The second problem is that we get occasional timeouts. These don't happen very often, maybe 5-7/day. Solr is serving at most like 350 requests per minute. Our timeouts are set to 2 seconds on read and 1 second on open. Average response time is around 20ms. It doesn't seem like any requests should be timing out but they are. I have no idea how to debug it either. Any ideas? Thanks, Aaron
