Max no of solr cores supported and how to restrict a query to a particular core?
I want to know the maximum no of cores supported by Solr. 1000s or may be millions all under one solr instance ? Also I want to know how to redirect a particular query to a particular core. Actually I'm querying solr from Ajax, so I think there must be some request parameter that says which core we want to query, right? Can some one tell me how to do this, any good pointers on the same will be helpful as well. Thank you. --kk

there is no hard limit on the no:of cores. it is limited by your system's ability to open files and the resources. the queries are automatically sent to appropriate core if your url is htt://host:port//select On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 1:58 PM, KK wrote: > I want to know the maximum no of cores supported by Solr. 1000s or may be > millions all under one solr instance ? > Also I want to know how to redirect a particular query to a particular core. > Actually I'm querying solr from Ajax, so I think there must be some request > parameter that says which core we want to query, right?

Re: Max no of solr cores supported and how to restrict a query to a particular core?
Thank you very much. Got the point. One off the track question, can we automate the creation of new cores[it requires manually editing the solr.xml file as I know, and what about the location of core index directory, do we need to point that manually as well]. After going through the wiki what I found is we've to mention the names of cores in solr.xml. I want to automate the process in such a way that when a user registers[ on say my site for the service], we'll create a coresponding core for the same user and with a specific core id[unique for this user only] so that the user will be given a search interface that will redirect all searches for this user to http://host:port//select Will apprecite any ideas on this.

RE: Autocommit blocking adds? AutoCommit Speedup?
Hi all,
I am also facing the same issue where autocommit blocks all
other requests. I having around 1,00,000 documents with average size of
100K each. It took more than 20 hours to index.
I have currently set autocommit maxtime to 7 seconds, mergeFactor to 25.
Do I need more configuration changes?
Also I see that memory usage goes to peak level of heap specified(6 GB
in my case). Looks like Solr spends most of the time in GC.
According to my understanding, fix for Solr-1155 would be that commit
will run in background and new documents will be queued in the memory.
But I am afraid of the memory consumption by this queue if commit takes
much longer to complete.
Thanks,
Siddharth

First cut of updated handler now in:

Needs review from those that know Lucene better, and double check for
errors
in locking or other areas of the code. Thanks.

Re: master/slave failure scenario
Ok so the VIP will point to the new master. but what makes a slave promoted to a master? Only the fact that it will receive add/update requests?

While I agree, one should properly match & tune all apps they are testing (for a fair comparison), we in turn must set out-of-the-box defaults (in Lucene and Solr) that get you as close to the "best practices" as possible. We don't always do that, and I think we should do better. My most recent example of this is BooleanQuery's performance. It turns out, if you setAllowDocsOutOfOrder(true), it yields a sizable performance gain (27% on my most recent test) for OR queries. So why haven't we enabled this by default, already? (As far as I can tell it's functionally equivalent, as long as the Collector can accept out-of-order docs, which our core collectors can). We can't expect the "other camp" to discover that this obscure setting must be set, to maximize Lucene's OR query performance. Mike

Re: Autocommit blocking adds? AutoCommit Speedup?
20+ hours? I index 3 million records in 3 hours. Is your auto commit
causing a snapshot? What do you have listed in the events.

Re: Solr vs Sphinx
Totally agree on optimizing out of the box experience, it's just never a one size fits all thing. And we have to be very careful about micro- benchmarks driving these settings. Currently, many of us use Wikipedia, but that's just one doc set and I'd venture to say most Solr users do not have docs that look anything like Wikipedia.

It turns out, if you setAllowDocsOutOfOrder(true), it yields a sizable performance gain (27% on my most recent test) for OR queries. So why haven't we enabled this by default, already? (As far as I can tell it's functionally equivalent, as long as the Collector can accept out-of-order docs, which our core collectors can). We can't expect the "other camp" to discover that this obscure setting must be set, to maximize Lucene's OR query performance.

Re: Custom Servlet Filter, Where to put filter-mappings
I like Grant's suggestion as the simplest solution. As for XML merging and XSLT, I really wouldn't want to go that route personally, but one solution that comes close to that is to template web.xml with some substitution tags and use Ant's ability to replace tokens. So we could put in @FILTER@ and @FILTER_MAPPING@ placeholders in web.xml and pull in the replacements from fragment files. But even with all of these fancy options available, I'd still just use the alternate web.xml technique that Grant proposed.

Anyone doing comparative benchmarking who doesn't submit their code to the support list for the software under review is either a dolt or a propagandist.

RE: Autocommit blocking adds? AutoCommit Speedup?
Siddharth, The settings you have in your solrconfig for ramBufferSizeMB and maxBufferedDocs control how much memory may be used during indexing besides any overhead with the documents being "in-flight" at a given moment (deserialized into memory but not yet handed to lucene). There are streaming versions of the client/server that help with that as well by trying to process them as they arrive. The patch SOLR-1155 does not add more memory use, but rather lets the threads proceed through to Lucene without blocking within Solr as often. So instead of a stuck thread holding the documents in memory they will be moving threads doing the same. So the buffer sizes mentioned above along with the amount of documents you send at a time will push your memory footprint. Send smaller batches (less efficient) or stream; or make sure you have enough memory for the amount of docs you send at a time. For indexing I slow my commits down if there is no need for the documents to become available for query right away. For pure indexing, a long autoCommit time and large max document count ebfore auto committing helps. Committing isn't what flushes them out of memory, it is what makes the on-disk version part of the overall index. Over committing will slow you way down. Especially if you have any listeners on the commits doing a lot of work (i.e. Solr distribution). Also, if you are querying on the indexer that can eat memory and compete with the memory you are trying to reserve for indexing. So a split model of indexing and querying on different instances lets you tune each the best; but then you have a gap in time from indexing to querying as the trade-off. It is hard to say what is going on with GC without knowing what garbage collection settings you are passing to the VM, and what version of the Java VM you are using. Which garbage collector are you using and what tuning parameters? I tend to use Parallel GC on my indexers with GC Overhead limit turned off allowing for some pauses (which users don't see on a back-end indexer) but good GC with lower heap fragmentation. I tend to use concurrent mark and sweep GC on my query slaves with tuned incremental mode and pacing which is a low pause collector taking advantage of the cores on my servers and can incrementally keep up with the needs of a query slave. -- Jayson Gargate, Siddharth wrote: > > Hi all, > I am also facing the same issue where autocommit blocks all > other requests.

Re: Autocommit blocking adds? AutoCommit Speedup?
Indexing speed comes down to a lot of factors. The settings as talked about above, VM settings, the size of the documents, how many are sent at a time, how active you can keep the indexer (i.e. one thread sending documents lets the indexer relax whereas N threads keeps pressure on the indexer), how often you commit and of course the hardware you are running on. Disk I/O is a big factor along with having enough cores and memory to buffer and process the documents. Comparing two sets of numbers is tough. We have indexes that range from indexing a few million an hour up through 18-20M per hour in a indexing cluster for distributed search. --j Jack Godwin wrote: > > 20+ hours?

There is this cryptic static setter (in Lucene): BooleanQuery.setAllowDocsOutOfOrder(boolean) It defaults to false, which means BooleanScorer2 will always be used to compute hits for a BooleanQuery. When set to true, BooleanScorer will instead be used, when possible. BooleanScorer gets better performance, but it collects docs out of order, which for some external collectors might cause a problem. All of Lucene's core collectors work fine with out-of-order collection (but I'm not sure about Solr's collectors). If you experiment with this, please post back with your results! Mike
Additional metadata when using Solr Cell

I am trying to get my field back in the results from a query:
../solr/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=hello&start=0&rows=10&fl=author%2Cscore&qt=standard&wt=standard&explainOther=&hl.fl=
I see the score in the results 'doc' but no reference to author.
Can anyone advise on what I am forgetting to do, to get hold of this field?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Re: Max no of solr cores supported and how to restrict a query to a particular core?
Thank you very much. LOL, Its in the same wiki I was told to go through. I've a question regarding creating ofsolr cores on the fly. The wiki says, .Creates a new core and register it. If persistence is enabled (persist=true), the configuration for this new core will be saved in 'solr.xml'. If a core with the same name exists, while the "new" created core is initializing, the "old" one will continue to accept requests. Once it has finished, all new request will go to the "new" core, and the "old" core will be unloaded. So I've to wait for some time [say a couple of secs, may be less than that] before I start adding pages to that core. I think this is the way to handle it , otherwise some content which should have been indexed by the new core, will get indexed by the existing core[as the wiki says], which I don't want to happen. Any other ideas for handling the same.

AW: AW: Geographical search based on latitude and longitude
Hi Grant, thanks for the reply.
Is the logic for a function query that calculates distances that Yonik
mentioned (gdist(position,101.2,234.3))
already implemented?
This could be either very inaccurate or load intense.
If the logic isn't done until now maybe I can prepare it.

I think the patch I included earlier covers solr core, but it looks
like at
least some other extensions (DIH) create and use their own XML
parser. So, if
this functionality is to extend to all XML files, those will need
similar
patches.
Here's one for DIH:

The only down side I can see to this is it doesn't offer very
expressive
conditional inclusion: the file is included if it's present
otherwise fallback

obviously won't
work for other types of configuration files. However, it is simple

No, I don't think we should change that default. Nor (for example) can we switch to SweetSpotSimilarity by default, even though it seems to improve relevance, because it requires app-dependent configuration. Nor should we set IndexWriter's RAM buffer to 1 GB. Etc. But when there is a choice that has near zero downside and improves performance (like my example), we should make the switch. Making IndexReader.open return a readOnly reader is another example (... which we plan to do in 3.0). Every time Lucene or Solr has a default built-in setting, we should think carefully about how to set it. > Anyone doing comparative benchmarking who doesn't submit their code to the > support list for the software under review is either a dolt or a propagandist. > > Good benchmarking is extremely difficult, like all experimental science.

Re: Solr memory requirements?
I don't know if field type has any impact on the memory usage - does it? Our use cases require complete matches, thus there is no need of any analysis in most cases - does it matter in terms of memory usage? Also, is there any default caching used by Solr if I comment out all the caches under query in solrconfig.xml? I also don't have any auto-warming queries.

replication of lucene-write.lock file
When using solr 1.4 replication, I see that the lucene-write.lock file is being replicated to slaves. I'm importing data from a db every 5 minutes using cron to trigger a DIH delta-import. Replication polls every 60 seconds and the master is configured to take a snapshot (replicateAfter) commit. Why should the lock file be replicated to slaves? The lock file isn't stale on the master and is absent unless the delta- import is in process. I've not tried it yet, but with the lock file replicated, it seems like promotion of a slave to a master in a failure recovery scenario requires the manual removal of the lock file. -Bryan
Re: CommonsHttpSolrServer vs EmbeddedSolrServer
CommonsHttpSolrServer is how you access Solr from a Java client via HTTP. You can connect to a Solr running anywhere EmbeddedSolrServer starts up Solr internally, and connects directly, all in a single JVM... Embedded may be faster, the jury is out, but you have to have your Solr server and your Solr client on the same box... Unless you really need it, I would start with CommonsHttpSolrServer, it's easier to configure and get going with and more flexible.

Re: CommonsHttpSolrServer vs EmbeddedSolrServer
right -- which one you pick will depend more on your runtime environment then anything else. If you need to hit a server (on a different machine) CommonsHttpSolrServer is your only option. If you are running an embedded application -- where your custom code lives in the same JVM as solr -- you can use EmbeddedSolrServer. The nice thing is that since they are the same interface, you can change later. The performance comments on the wiki can be a bit misleading -- yes, in some cases embedded could be faster, but that may depend on how you are sending things -- are you sending 1000s of single document requests really fast? If so, try sending a bunch of documents together in one request. Also consider using the StreamingHttpSolrServer (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-906 ) -- it has a few quirks, but can be much faster. In any case, as long as you program against the SolrServer interface, then you could swap the implementation as needed. ryan On May 14, 2009, at 3:35 PM, Eric Pugh wrote: CommonsHttpSolrServer is how you access Solr from a Java client via HTTP.

Re: Solr vs Sphinx

However, maybe the next Solr improvement should be the creation of a configuration manager and/or automated tuning tool. I know that optimizing Solr performance can be time consuming and sometimes frustrating. "Making Solr more self-service" has been a theme we have had and should strive to move toward. In some respects, extreme configurability is a liability, if considerable tweaking and experimentation is needed to achieve optimum results. You can't expect everyone to put in the investment to develop the expertise. That said, it is very difficult to come up with appropriate auto- tuning heuristics that don't fail. It almost calls for a level higher than Solr that you could hint what you want to do with the field (sort, facet, etc.), and it makes the field definitions appropriately. The problem with such abstractions is that they are invariably leaky, and thus diagnosing problems requires similar expertise as omitting the abstraction step in the first place. Getting this trade-off right is one of the central problems of computer science. -Mike
Re: Solr memory requirements?
Some update on this issue, 1) I attached jconsole to my app and monitored the memory usage. During indexing the memory usage goes up and down, which I think is normal. The memory remains around the min heap size (4 G) for indexing, but as soon as I run a search the tenured heap usage jumps up to 6G and remains there. Subsequent searches increases the heap usage even more until it reaches the max (8G) - after which everything (indexing and searching becomes slow). The search query is a very generic one in this case which goes through all the cores (4 of them - 800 million records), finds 400million matches and returns 100 rows. Does the Solr searcher holds up the reference to objects in memory? I couldn't find any settings that would tell me it does, but every search causing heap to go up is definitely suspicious. 2) I ran the jmap histo to get the top objects (this is on a smaller instance with 2 G memory, this is before running search - after running search I wasn't able to run jmap), num #instances #bytes class name -- 1: 3890855 222608992 [C 2: 3891673 155666920 java.lang.String 3: 3284341 131373640 org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfo 4: 3334198 106694336 org.apache.lucene.index.Term 5: 271 26286496 [J 6:16 26273936 [Lorg.apache.lucene.index.Term; 7:16 26273936 [Lorg.apache.lucene.index.TermInfo; 8:320512 15384576 org.apache.lucene.index.FreqProxTermsWriter$PostingList 9: 10335 11554136 [I I'm not sure what's the first one (C)?

Search Query Questions
I have two questions: 1) How do I search for ALL items? For example, I provide a sort query parameter of "updated" and a rows query parameter of 10 to limit the query results. I still have to provide a search query, of course. What if I want to provide a list of ALL results that match this? Or, in this case, the most recent 10 updated documents? 2) How do I search for all documents with a field that has data? For example, I have a field "foo" that is optional and multi-valued. How do I search for documents that have this field set to anything. Thanks, Chris Miller ServerMotion www.servermotion.com
Re: Search Query Questions
Oh, one more question 3) Is there a way to effectively do a GROUP BY? For example, if I have a document that has a photoID attached to it, is there a way to return a set of results that does not duplicate the photoID field?

Have you added author to the schema? If not, and if you are using the
example config (that uses ext.ignore.und.fl=true), the field could just
be ignored. Define it and it should be filled.

Re: Solr memory requirements?
800 million docs is on the high side for modern hardware. If even one field has norms on, your talking almost 800 MB right there. And then if another Searcher is brought up well the old one is serving (which happens when you update)? Doubled. Your best bet is to distribute across a couple machines. To minimize you would want to turn off or down caching, don't facet, don't sort, turn off all norms, possibly get at the Lucene term interval and raise it. Drop on deck searchers setting.

Re: Solr memory requirements?
Thanks Mark. I checked all the items you mentioned, 1) I've omitnorms=true for all my indexed fields (stored only fields I guess doesn't matter) 2) I've tried commenting out all caches in the solrconfig.xml, but that doesn't help much 3) I've tried commenting out the first and new searcher listeners settings in the solrconfig.xml - the only way that helps is that at startup time the memory usage doesn't spike up - that's only because there is no auto-warmer query to run. But, I noticed commenting out searchers slows down any other queries to Solr. 4) I don't have any sort or facet in my queries 5) I'm not sure how to change the "Lucene term interval" from Solr - is there a way to do that? I've been playing around with this memory thing the whole day and have found that it's the search that's hogging the memory. Any time there is a search on all the records (800 million) the heap consumption jumps by 5G. This makes me think there has to be some configuration in Solr that's causing some terms per document to be loaded in memory. I've posted my settings several times on this forum, but no one has been able to pin point what configuration might be causing this. If someone is interested I can attach the solrconfig and schema files as well. Here are the settings again under Query tag, 1024 true 50 200 false 2 and schema, Any help is greatly appreciated.
