Hi all,

Does providing "my optimise takes x minutes on this hardware on a data set this
big" actually tell us useful information, other than rough ideas of how long an
optimise operation could take for {those variables}? I mean, the data ,
configuration, etc you are working on makes quite a bit of difference.

As Walter mentioned, so many variables at hand can get scary...but they
could be grouped as : 
1) your SOLR setup (schema, # of docs, configuration)

2) your hardware and OS configuration.

I would guess that to get a proper understanding and provide most useful
information they could be treated separately.

For example, for test 2), a sample SOLR configuration and data be provided and
a set of test scripts be provided. Then anyone can provide information back on
how fast their hardware / config works on SOLR-PERF-TEST_1 (optimised for
overall speed) vs SOLR-PERF-TEST_2 (optimised for commit times) vs ... whatever.

I am not too sure how to have a standard test for the first group... maybe the
data and configuration examples from 2) would be useful enough for finetuning ,
as examples (similar to MySQL 'large' and 'huge' configurations)...

just a thought...
