I must be missing something: Is it the 120 IPs that explains why anyone
would choose m2.2xlarge?
i2.xlarge is a relatively new instance type (December 2013). In our case,
we're partway through a yearlong reservation of m2.

i2.
Be a little careful when looking at on-disk index sizes.
The *.fdt and *.fdx files are pretty irrelevant for the in-memory
requirements. They are just read to assemble the response (usually
10-20 docs). That said, you can _make_ them more relevant by
specifying very large document cache sizes.

Not so much after using some of the settings available on Shawn's Solr Wiki

This is what we're running with right now:

Thanks, Shawn. This information is actually not all that shocking to me.
It's always been in the back of my mind that I was "getting away with
something" in serving from the m1.large. Remarkably, however, it has served
me well for nearly two years; also, although the index has not always been
30GB,
Here at Appinions, we use mostly m2.2xlarges, but the new i2.xlarges look
pretty tasty primarily because of the SSD, and I'll probably push for a
switch to those when our reservations run out.

One detail that you did not provide was how much of your 7.5GB RAM you
are allocating to the Java heap for Solr,
