Hello, I have been wanting some tools for measuring performance of SOLR, similar to Mike McCandles' lucene benchmark.
so yet another monitor was born, is described here: http://29min.wordpress.com/2013/07/31/measuring-solr-query-performance/ I tested it on the problem of garbage collectors (see the blogs for details) and so far I can't conclude whether highly customized G1 is better than highly customized CMS, but I think interesting details can be seen there. Hope this helps someone, and of course, feel free to improve the tool and share! roman
