Jeff : Thanks. I have tried reload before but it is not reliable (atleast in 4.3.1). A few cores get initialized and few dont (show as just recovering or down) and hence had to move away from it. Is it a known issue in 4.3.1?
Shawn,Otis,Erick Yes I have reviewed the page before and have given 1/4 of my mem to JVM and the rest to RAM/Os Cache. (15 Gb heap and 45 G to rest. Totally 60G machine). I have also reviewed the tlog file and they are in the order of KB (4-10 or 30). I have SSD and the reads are hardly noticable (in the order of 100Kb during that time frame). I have also disabled swap on all machines Regarding firstSearcher, It is currently set to externalFileLoader. What is the use of first searcher? I havent played around with it Thanks Nitin On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 7:58 PM, Erick Erickson <erickerick...@gmail.com>wrote: > What is your firstSearcher set to in solrconfig.xml?
