What's the heap size of the JVM. The default is normally pretty small. If you are using the example, just put it on the command line... java -Xmx256m -jar start.jar > I'm doing inserts of about 1000 documents at a time between > commits. Would doing a smaller number avoid this problem. No, that shouldn't be a problem. Solr only keeps a single hashtable entry for each unique id of uncommitted documents so it can delete duplicates during the commit. The exception probably hits when lucene needs to merge segments. There isn't much you can do to avoid that memory usage except increase the heap size. BTW, How many indexed fields do you have? -Yonik
