DisMax search on field only if it exists otherwise fall-back to another

2015-01-15 Thread Neil Prosser
Hopefully this question makes sense. At the moment I'm using a DisMax query which looks something like the following (massively cut-down): ?defType=dismax &q=some query &qf=field_one^0.5 field_two^1.0 I've got some localisation work coming up where I'd like to use the value of one, sparsely popu

SolrCloud setup - any advice?

2013-09-19 Thread Neil Prosser
Apologies for the giant email. Hopefully it makes sense. We've been trying out SolrCloud to solve some scalability issues with our current setup and have run into problems. I'd like to describe our current setup, our queries and the sort of load we see and am hoping someone might be able to spot t

These machines are managing to get the whole index into the Linux OS cache. Hopefully the 5GB minimum for field cache and 8GB heap is what's causing this trouble right now. On 24 July 2013 19:06, Shawn Heisey wrote: > On 7/24/2013 10:33 AM, Neil Prosser wrote: > > The log for

x27;s important for people. Both servers were running 4.3.1. I've since upgraded to 4.4.0. If you need any more information or want me to do any filtering let me know. On 24 July 2013 15:50, Timothy Potter wrote: > Log messages? > > On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 1:37 AM, Neil Prosse

Sorry, I should also mention that these leader nodes which are marked as down can actually still be queried locally with distrib=false with no problems. Is it possible that they've somehow got themselves out-of-sync? On 22 July 2013 13:37, Neil Prosser wrote: > No need to apologi

While indexing some documents to a SolrCloud cluster (10 machines, 5 shards and 2 replicas, so one replica on each machine) one of the replicas stopped receiving documents, while the other replica of the shard continued to grow. That was overnight so I was unable to track exactly what happened (I'
