Auto soft commuting that frequently can also dramatically impact performance. Perhaps not nearly as much as a hard commit, but I would still consider increasing it.
Also hard commits every 10 seconds at that volume is quite frequent. I'd consider doing soft commits every 10 seconds and do hard commits every so many minutes (10 or so?) and tweak from there. I might also look at your segment merge strategy. With a large number of small docs, I've seen solr spend a lot of CPU time just merging segments. You'll probably want to tweak this to be far less aggressive.

Following snippet from the solrconfig - <autoCommit> <maxTime>10000</maxTime> <openSearcher>true</openSearcher> </autoCommit> <autoSoftCommit> <maxDocs>1</maxDocs> </autoSoftCommit> Shall I increase the autoCommit time as well? But would that mean more RAM is consumed by all instances running on the box? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SolrCloud-Scale-Struggle-tp4150592p4150615.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
