I'm seeing some problems warming up solr on startup. Currently warmup consists of two parts- running queries on startup programmatically, and then running a script to perform queries. The programmatic warmup seems to warm up Solr fine in terms of making queries via the Solr admin tool, but when I d

I compared locallucene to spatial search and saw a performance degradation, even using geohash queries, though perhaps I indexed things wrong? Locallucene across 6 machines handles 150 queries per second fine, but using geofilt and geohash I got lots of timeouts even when I was doing only 50 querie

spatial search performance - latlontype vs pointtype?

I've switched my index to use pointtype instead of latlontype of spatial search queries. Unfortunately I'm seeing much worse performance, and I was wondering if anybody else knew of any issues between the two types. I would expect a flat space calculation of pointtype to be better than the spher
