What is a good size for batching updates? My xml update docs are around 600-700 bytes each right now.
There are two types of batches... documents per request (I wouldn't go too big here) and documents added before a commit. Bigger batches before a commit will be more efficient in general... the only state that Solr keeps around before a commit is a HashTable<String,Integer> entry per unique id deleted or overwritten. You might be able to do your entire collection. If you have a multi-CPU server, you could increase indexing performance by using a multithreaded client to keep all the CPUs on the server busy. -Yonik
