I have a large solr index that is currently about 6 GB and is suffering of severe performance problems during updates. A commit can take over 10 minutes to complete. I have tried to increase max memory to the JVM to over 6 GB, but without any improvement. I have also tried to turn off waitSearcher and waitFlush, which do significantly improve the commit speed. However, the max number of searchers is then quickly reached.
Would a switch to another container (currently using Jetty) make any difference? Does anyone have any other tip for improving the performance? TIA, Anders
