SolrNet and deep pagination
Hi there, Has anyone worked with deep pagination using SolrNet? The SolrNet version that I am using is v0.4.0.2002. I followed up with this article, https://github.com/mausch/SolrNet/blob/master/Documentation/CursorMark.md , however the version of SolrNet.dll does not expose the a StartOrCursor property in the QueryOptions class. Does anyone have insight into this? Feel free to let me know if there is a later version that we should be using. Additionally, does anyone know how someone will go about using the code to paginate say about 10 records per page on an index page of 2. This means, I will like to page 10 records from page 2 of the entire recordset. Regards, Adrian
Solr old log files are not archived or removed automatically.
Hi there, I am using Solr v.5.2.1 on my local machine. I realized that old log files are not removed in a timely manner by log4j. The logs which I am referring to are the log files that reside within solr_directory\server\logs. So far I have previous two months' worth of log files accumulated in the log directory. Consequently, this causes my directory grow to such large sizes. I will need to manually remove the old log files which is undesirable. Is this is a bug with Solr or a missing configuration that needs to be set? As far as I know, all Solr Logging configuration is done in the solr_directory\server\resources\log4j.properties Appreciate the soonest reply. Thanks.
Performance warning overlapping onDeckSearchers
Hi there, Has anyone come across this issue, [some_index] PERFORMANCE WARNING: Overlapping onDeckSearchers=2? I am currently using Solr v5.2.1. What does this mean? Does this raise red flags? I am currently encountering an issue whereby my Sitecore system is unable to update the index appropriately. I am not sure if this is linked to the warnings above. Regards, Adrian

RE: Solr old log files are not archived or removed automatically.
Hi Erick,
1> how did you install/run your Solr? As a service or "regular"? See
the reference guide, "Permanent Logging Settings" for some info on the
difference there.
What is the difference between "regular" or "service"?
2> what does your log4j.properties file look like?
Here are the contents in the log4j.properties file:
# Logging level

I am not sure how best I can limit the size of the solr_logs directory. Does
log4j come with a feature to remove old log files with a given retention period?

RE: Performance warning overlapping onDeckSearchers
Thanks Shawn. Having said that increasing maxWarmingSearchers is usually wrong to solve this, are there any implications if we set maxWarmingSearchers to zero to resolve this problem?

RE: Performance warning overlapping onDeckSearchers
Thanks very much for the useful info Eric. Sincerely appreciate you pointed out
those questions. In fact, I am currently working with a third party product
called Sitecore Web Content Management System (WCMS) that does the job to issue
updates to the Solr Index.
I need to understand abit more when and how they are committing documents to
Solr. Your question about how the new searchers arise to produce those
performance warning messages is valid.
Your questions will be more for the Sitecore Product Team to investigate in
which I will chase them up for answers.
1. Whether we are overriding the system variable solr.autoSoftCommit.maxTime?
2. Whether we are overriding the solr.autoCommit.maxTime (although this really
shouldn't matter).
3. Why we have too many hard commits?
4. How come new searchers are opened even when this is set with
false
I shall chase these questions up with them. Will feedback to you where
necessary.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Adrian Liew

Subject: Re: Performance warning overlapping onDeckSearchers
Something's not adding up here. Is your _client_ perhaps issuing commits when
you index documents? This is Joel's question, so we need to see how you send
docs to Solr. We really need to know how you're indexing docs to Solr.
My bet (and I suspect Joel's) is that you're either using SolrJ to send docs to
Solr and have something like solrJ while (more docs) {
create a doc
send it to Solr
commit
}
rather than
while (more docs) {
create a bunch of docs (I usually start with 1,000) using the "commitwithin"
option and make it as long as possible
send the batch to solr
}
Maybe commit at the very end, but that's not necessary if you're willing to
wait for "commitWithin".
post.jar
Or, you're using post.jar in some kind of loop which commits every time you use
it by default. You can disable this, try 'java -jar post.jar -help' for all the
options, but the one you want is -Dcommit=no.
NOTE: you have to issue a commit _sometime_ to see the docs, either the
commitWithin option in SolrJ or explicitly if you're using the post.jar tool.
You can even issue a commit (this is suitable for
testing) via curl or a browser with
http://solr_node:8983/solr/collection/update?commit=true
The reason we're focusing here is that:
Soft commits are disabled in your setup, this is the "-1" in autoSoftCommit.
Hard commits are not opening searchers, this is the autoCommit,
false section.
Are, you perhaps overriding the system variable solr.autoSoftCommit.maxTime
when you start up Solr?
What about solr.autoCommit.maxTime (although this really shouldn't matter).
If you're not overriding the above, then no searchers should be being opened at
all after you start Solr, and only one should be opening when you do start
Solr. So you should not be getting the warning about Overlapping
onDeckSearchers.
Forget the static warming queries, they are irrelevant until we understand why
you're getting any new searchers. For future reference, these are the
newSearcher and firstSearcher events in solrconfig.xml. newSearcher is fired
every time one commits, firstSearcher when you start Solr.
The bottom line here is you need to find out why you're committing at all,
which opens a new searcher which, when that happens too often generates the
warning you're seeing.
Best,
Erick

Cannot connect to a zookeeper 3.4.6 instance via zkCli.cmd
Hi there, Currently, I have setup an azure virtual network to connect my Zookeeper clusters together with three Azure VMs. Each VM has an internal IP of 10.0.0.4, 10.0.0.5 and 10.0.0.6. I have also setup Solr 5.3.0 which runs in Solr Cloud mode connected to all three Zookeepers in an external ensemble manner. I am able to connect to 10.0.0.4 and 10.0.0.6 via the zkCli.cmd after starting the Zookeeper services. However for 10.0.0.5, I keep getting the below error even if I started the zookeeper service. [cid:image001.png@01D0FC6E.BDC2D990] I have restarted 10.0.0.5 VM several times and still am unable to connect to Zookeeper via zkCli.cmd. I have checked zoo.cfg (making sure ports, data and logs are all set correctly) and myid to ensure they have the correct configurations.

RE: Create Collection in Solr Cloud using Solr 5.3.0 giving timeout issues
Hi Shawn, Thanks for that. You did mention about starting out with empty collections and already I am experiencing timeout issues. Could this have to do with the hardware or server spec sizing itself. For example, lack of memory allocated, network issues etc. that can possibly cause this? Given Azure has a 99.95 percent SLA, I don't think this could be a network issue. I am currently using a 4 core 7 GB RAM memory machine for an individual Solr Server. I don't quite understand why this is happening as I am just trying to setup a bare bones Solr Cloud setup using Solr 5.3.0 and Zookeeper 3.4.6. Any tips will be much appreciated.

This is a the default timeout for the Collections API, and it is a particularly long timeout. When it is exceeded, it is usually an indication of a serious problem. The collection create will likely succeed eventually, after an unknown amount of time ... the collections API just gave up on waiting for the response. There are two things that I know of that can cause this: A very large number of collections, and general performance issues. I did some testing a while back with thousands of empty collections on the Solr 5.x cloud example. It did not turn out well. Many things timed out, and a server restart would throw the whole cloud into chaos for a very long time. If those collections were not empty, then I suspect the problems would be even worse. General performance issues (usually RAM-related) can cause big problems with SolrCloud too. The following wiki page is most of my accumulated knowledge about what causes performance problems with Solr: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPerformanceProblems Thanks, Shawn

Looks like this has been resolved by manually starting the Zookeeper services on each server promptly so that the tickTime value does not timeout too quickly to heartbeat other peers. Hence, I increased the tickTime value to about 5 minutes to give some time for a node hosting Zookeeper to restart and autostart its service. This case seems fixed but I will double check again once more to be sure. I am using nssm (non-sucking-service-manager) to autostart Zookeeper. I will need to retest this once again using nssm to make sure zookeeper services are up and running. Regards, Adrian Best regards, Adrian Liew | Consultant Application Developer Avanade Malaysia Sdn.

Zookeeper HA with 3x ZK with Solr server nodes
Hi there, I have 3 Solr server Azure VM nodes participating in SolrCloud with ZK installed on each of these nodes (to avoid a single point of failure with ZK for leader election). Each Solr server is hosted in a Windows Server 2012 R2 environment. I was told by my peer that if one zookeeper service fails, the entire quorum fails. Hence if a quorum fails, does that mean it will not be able to elect the leader from the remaining 2 alive Solr servers, even if ZK services are installed in each node? I am yet to this out as this defeats the purpose of having a ZK installed on each server. I am afraid if one node fails, a leader cannot be elected with the remaining two available nodes. Correct me if I am wrong. Regards, Adrian
RE: Cannot connect to a zookeeper 3.4.6 instance via zkCli.cmd
Hi Shawn, Thanks for the reply. Understood your comments and will revert back to the defaults. However, I raised this issue because I realized that Zookeeper becomes impatient if it cannot heartbeat its other peers in time. So for example, if 1 ZK server goes down out of 3 ZK servers, the 1 ZK server will stop pinging other servers and complain about timeout issues to zkCli connect to its service. Will revert back with an update.

Zookeeper is designed around certain things happening very quickly. I don't think you can increase that to five *minutes* (multiplying it by 150) without the strong possibility of something going very wrong and processes hanging for minutes at a time waiting for a timeout that should happen very quickly. I am reasonably certain that tickTime is used for zookeeper operation in several ways, so I believe that this much of an increase will cause fundamental problems with zookeeper's normal operation. I admit that I have not looked at the code, so I could be wrong ... but based on the following information from the Zookeeper docs, I don't think I am wrong: tickTime the length of a single tick, which is the basic time unit used by ZooKeeper, as measured in milliseconds. It is used to regulate heartbeats, and timeouts. For example, the minimum session timeout will be two ticks. Thanks, Shawn

If zookeeper is down, SolrCloud nodes will not start correctly, even if zookeeper is started later
Changing subject header. I am encountering this issue in Solr 5.3.0 whereby I am getting haywired leader election using SolrCloud. I am using NSSM 2.24 to startup my solr services with zookeeper set as a dependency. For example, if I have three servers marked as 10.0.0.4, 10.0.0.5 and 10.0.0.6, both 10.0.0.4 and 10.0.0.5 show up as Leaders in Solr Admin Panel. I then decided to manually stop all services, and ensure all Zookeeper services are booted up first prior to starting Solr services on all machines. Then I refreshed my Solr Admin Panel to observe the correct leaders and followers and test node recovery. Everything turned out fine. Hence, the issue is that upon startup of three machines, the startup of ZK and Solr is out of sequence that causes SolrCloud to behave unexpectedly. Noting there is Jira ticket addressed here for Solr 4.9 above to include an improvement to the issue above. (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5129) Can someone please advise.

RE: If zookeeper is down, SolrCloud nodes will not start correctly, even if zookeeper is started later
Hi Shawn Thanks for informing me. I guess the worst case scenario is that all 3 ZK services are down and that may be unlikely the case. At this juncture, as you said the viable workaround is a manual approach to start up the services in sequence in ensuring a quorum can take place. So the proper sequence in a 3 ZK + Solr (both ZK and Solr in each server) server setup will be as follows: Downed situation with one or mode ZK services 1. Restart all ZK Services first on all three machines 2. Restart all Solr Services on all three machines Please do clarify if the above is correct and I will be happy to take this approach and communicate to my customer. Many thanks.

At this time, if you do not have Zookeeper quorum (a majority of your ZK nodes fully operational), you will not be able to successfully start SolrCloud nodes. The issue has low priority because there is a viable workaround -- ensure that ZK has quorum before starting or restarting any Solr node. Thinking out loud: Until this issue is fixed, I think this means that a 3-node setup where all three nodes use the zookeeper embedded in Solr will require a strange startup sequence if none of the nodes are running: * Start node 1. Solr will not start correctly -- no ZK quorum. * Start node 2. Solr might start correctly, not sure. * Start node 3. This should start correctly. * Restart node 1. With ZK nodes 2 and 3 running, this will work. * Restart node 2 if it did not start properly the first time. I really have no idea whether the second node startup will work properly. Thanks, Shawn
RE: Run Solr 5.3.0 as a Service on Windows using NSSM
Hi Edwin, You may want to try explore some of the configuration properties to configure in zookeeper. http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.4.5/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_zkMulitServerSetup My recommendation is to try run your batch files outside of NSSM so it is easier to debug and observe what you see from the command window. I don't think ZK and Solr can be automated on startup well using NSSM due to the fact that ZK services need to be running before you start up Solr services. I just had conversation with Shawn on this topic. NSSM cannot do the magic startup in a cluster setup. In that, you may need to write custom scripting to get it right. Back to your original issue, I guess it is worth exploring timeout values. Then again, I will leave the real Solr experts to chip in their thoughts.

Autostart Zookeeper and Solr using scripting
Hi, I am trying to implement some scripting to detect if all Zookeepers have started in a cluster, then restart the solr servers. Has anyone achieved this yet through scripting? I also saw there is the ZookeeperClient that is available in .NET via a nuget package. Not sure if this could be also implemented to check if a zookeeper is running. Any thoughts on anyone using a script to perform this? Regards, Adrian
Solr.cmd cannot create collection in Solr 5.2.1
Hi all,
I have setup a 3 server Zookeeper cluster by following the instructions
provided from Zookeeper site:
I am having experiences trying to zkCli.bat into the Zookeeper services on 3
EC2 instances once after I have started the ZK services on all 3 servers.
For example, I have setup my three servers to have the IPs:
Server1 - 172.18.111.111:2181
Server2 - 172.18.111.112:2182
Server3 - 172.18.112.112:2183
I am using Solr v.5.2.1.
When I have started Solr to run with the Zookeeper services and attempting to
upload the configuration to Zookeeper, I get the following failure message
reported by solr.cmd when attempting to create a collection using solr.cmd.
D:\Solr-5.2.1-Instance\bin>solr.cmd create_collection -c sitecore_core_index -n

I do a check to see if solrconfig.xml is present in the Zookeeper, if I run

RE: Solr.cmd cannot create collection in Solr 5.2.1
Hi Shawn,
You are correct. It works when we don't include the conf folder. I guess it
just something to take note of when uploading solrconfig.xml to Zookeeper.
Thanks for the tip.

I think the problem is that you included the conf directory in what you
uploaded to zookeeper. The config files (solrconfig.xml, schema.xml,
etc) should be sitting right in the directory you upload, not inside a conf
subdirectory. This is somewhat counterintuitive when compared to what happens
when NOT running in cloud mode, but the logic is fairly
simple: The conf directory is what gets uploaded to zookeeper.
A question for fellow committers: Is it too much handholding for us to look in
a conf directory in zookeeper? My bias is that we should not do that, but I do
not see it as particularly harmful.
Thanks,
Shawn

And I rarely set maxDocs in that configuration, it's actually not that useful IMO. Then set up an autoSoftCommit to be as long as you can tolerate, but IMO rarely shorter than 60 seconds unless you have very aggressive near-real-time (NRT) requirements. And if your product manager simply insists on very aggressive NRT settings, you should consider making your filterCache and queryResultCache relatively small with minimal autowarming. Any time you exceed maxWarmingSearchers, it indicates poorly configured Solr instances and/or commits happening far too often. Bumping that up to numbers greater than two is almost always a band-aid over that misconfiguration.

SolrCloud Shard + Replica on Multiple servers with SolrCloud
Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to setup 3 shard 3 server setup with a replication factor of 2 with SolrCloud 5.3.0. In particular trying to follow this setup described in this blog: http://lucidworks.com/blog/2014/06/03/introducing-the-solr-scale-toolkit/ EC2 Instance 1 Shard 1 - Leader (port 8984 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) Shard 2 - Leader (port 8985 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) EC2 Instance 2 Shard 1 - Replica (port 8984 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) Shard 2 - Replica (port 8985 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) EC2 Instance 3 Shard 1 - Replica (port 8984 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) Shard 2 - Replica (port 8985 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) Can anyone shed some light on how these can be configured using the SolrCloud collection API or using Solr command line utility to split them on different instances. As I know there are two approaches to sharding that is "Custom Sharding" and "Automatic Sharding". Which approach suits the use case described above? Is anyone able to provide pointers from past experience or point me to a good article that describes how this can be setup? Regards, Adrian

Solr Cloud 5.3.0 Read Time Outs
Hi there, I am using Solr Cloud 5.3.0 on a multiserver cluster (3 servers to mention) whereby each server spec is at 16 core and 32 GB Ram. I am facing regular errors - Error sending update to http://someip:8983/solr - "Timeout occured while waiting response from server at server a" ... Caused by java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read Timed out. I am not sure if this error can be caused due to some preceding warnings reported such as Error sending update to http://someip:8983/solr - org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrClient$RemoteSolrException: Error from server at http://someip:8983/solr/sitecore_master_index_shard1_replica3: Error opening new searcher. exceeded limit of maxWarmingSearchers=6 Can the maxWarmingSearchers error possibly cause the read timeouts to occur?

Solr 5.2.1 setup zookeeper ensemble problem
There seems to be an issue running the following command using solr.cmd as below: - bin\solr.cmd -e cloud -z localhost:2181,localhost:2182,localhost:2183 Anyone can please advise. Also, Is there a way to upload a configuration file (containing schema.xml and solrconfig.xml) to ZooKeeper easily using solr.cmd in solr 5.2.1?

Setup Solr Multiserver Environment
Has anyone tried setting up a multiserver environment for Solr on a Windows
machine?
I was just wondering how you will go about say setting up a single shard with 3
replicas (one of them is the leader) using the solr.cmd or infact java.cmd on
three different virtual machines for example. Note, I can only run solr.cmd on
Windows Machine. I won't be able to use shell scripting using the sh command if
I wanted to have an automated script to startup.
This is the way I see it for SolrCloud scenario:
1 replica = 1 machine
So for a three server instance/node setup with a single shard, it will be:
Shard 1:
Replica 1 (this is the Leader for the shard for example) :
solrnode1.cloudapp.net:5000
Replica 2: solrnode1.cloudapp.net:5001
Replica 3: solrnode1.cloudapp.net:5002
May it be possible to go about changing the hostport in the solr.xml of each of
those solr server instance/nodes above? So like each of them will be pointing
to like a directory called solr/node1, solr/node2 and solr/node3. So the only
place which makes sense to configure the host addresses is modifying the
sections below:
The default section that comes with the solr.xml is within solrcloud section is:
${host:}
${jetty.port:8983}
${hostContext:solr}
So in my case for example, can I do the following?
Replica 1:
solrnode1.cloudapp.net
${jetty.port:5000}
${hostContext:solr}
Replica 2:
solrnode1.cloudapp.net
${jetty.port:5001}
${hostContext:solr}
Replica 3:
solrnode1.cloudapp.net
${jetty.port:5002}
${hostContext:solr}
Any suggestions are welcomed.

Adrian

Solr Cloud Cluster Info and Clean
Hi Does anyone know where information about SolrCloud cluster is stored? I.E the below info? Is this stored in somewhere in ZooKeeper? In my case I am using an external Zookeeper server setup in an Ensemble. [cid:image001.png@01D0B827.CF87E750] Does anyone know how to clear their SolrCloud cluster. I.E I will like to remove collections initially made to the cluster and start fresh again.

RE: Migrating from Solr 5.1 to Solr 5.2.1
Hi Edwin, Yes seems to work for me with this command if we use -s instead: -solr.cmd start -p 8983 -s "C:\solrsc8_521_in\example\cloud\node1\solr" -z "localhost:2181,localhost:2182,localhost:2183" -noprompt I noticed you did not put a start in your command? Note the below command won't work with the -e parameter as this will runs the example action. The script will attempt to start two solr nodes on 8983 and 7574 and attach the nodes to zk with -z localhost:2181,localhost:2182,localhost:2183 without quotation marks. So the below line fails. -solr.cmd -e cloud -z "localhost:2181,localhost:2182,localh ost:2183" -noprompt (won't work with quotation marks) I can see the Cloud tab on the left side and I do not see any collections yet. I believe this is a good start since I have not added in any collections yet. Have you tried to add a collection to 1 shard and 3 replicas for example?

RE: Setup Solr Multiserver Environment
Thanks Eric.
I have a scenario whereby I will like to setup a minimal 1 shard with 3 replica
all of which each replica sits in its one machine. I also have an external ZK
ensemble setup with zk1, zk2 and zk3.
A simple example: I create say collection1 in the following order to satisfy
the scenario above using just solr.cmd. (note I am using a windows server do
perform the below as this is a requirement)
1. Create collection1 with numshards of 1 and with port 5000 which points to
say example/cloud/node1/solr
2. Next create the replica for collection1 (without specifying numshards this
time as it will tell Solr to create a replica) with port 5001 which points to
say example/cloud/node2/solr
3. Repeat step 2 and point this to say example/cloud/node3/solr with port 5002
I am currently stuck at Step 1 as I only managed to create the collection with
Shard 1 pointing at port 5000. However, how can I go about creating the replica
for that existing collection, collection1?
Best regards,
Adrian

How are you starting this? WARNING: I haven't worked on a windows box for some
time so beware my advice ;).
You shouldn't have to edit these at all if you're using the start scripts (now
preferred).
-h host
-p port
-s dir
All this does is set an env variable that gets substituted in for things like
${jetty.port:5002}. That syntax really says "Use the env var 'jetty.port' if
it's defined, otherwise default to 5002"
Try bin/solr.cmd --help and see what the options are..

Running Solr 5.2.1 on WIndows using NSSM
Hi guys, I am looking to run Apache Solr v5.2.1 on a windows machine. I tried to setup a windows service using NSSM (Non-Sucking-Service-Manager) to install the windows service on the machine pointing to the solr.cmd file path itself and installing the service. After installation, I tried to start the windows service but it gives back an alert message. It says \Windows could not start the SolrService service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. Most of the examples of older Apache Solr uses the java -start start.jar command to run Solr and seem to run okay with nssm. I am not sure if this could be the solr.cmd issue or NSSM's issue. Alternatively, I have tried to use Windows Task Scheduler to configure a task to point to the solr.cmd as well and run task whenever the computer starts (regardless a user is logged in or not). The task scheduler seems to report back 'Task Start Failed' with Level of 'Error'. Additionally, after checking Event Viewer, it returns the error with nssm Failed to open process handle for process with PID 3640 when terminating service Solr Service : The parameter is incorrect. Chances this can point back to the solr.cmd file itself. Thoughts? Regards, Adrian

RE: Running Solr 5.2.1 on WIndows using NSSM
Hi Edwin, Sorry for the late reply. Was caught up yesterday. Yes I did not use the start.jar command and followed this article using solr.cmd - http://www.norconex.com/how-to-run-solr5-as-a-service-on-windows/. I am using a Windows Server 2012 R2 Server. The article example shows that it passes the start -f -p 8983 as arguments to the service. I believe it is important to have the -f. Did you try this example? If it didn't work for you, have you tried to remove the service via nssm and add it again?

The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error." As Solr 5.2.1 is not using the start.jar command to run Solr, are we still able to use the same arguments to set up the nssm?

Jetty servlet container in production environment
Hi all, Will like to ask your opinion if it is recommended to use the default Jetty servlet container as a service to run Solr on a multi-server production environment. I hear some places that recommend using Tomcat as a servlet container. Is anyone able to share some thoughts about this? Limitations, advantages or disadvantages of using Jetty servlet in a production environment Regards, Adrian
RE: Jetty servlet container in production environment
Thanks Upaya for sharing. I am looking to deploy Solr in a Windows 64 Bit Server environment. Some people do say Jetty works optimally in a Linux based environment. Having said that, I believe Solr will have improved it's stability within a Windows environment. I agree with you on the advice. Shall just leave it as Jetty servlet. Thanks.

Or rather, just use bin/solr or bin\solr.cmd to interact with Solr. In the past, Solr shipped as a "war" which could be deployed in any servlet container. Since 5.0, it is to be considered a self-contained application, that just happens to use Jetty underneath. If you used something other than the inbuilt Jetty, you might end up with issues later on down the line when developers decide to make an optimisation or improvement that isn't compatible with the Servlet spec.
