Hi - what do you see if you monitor memory over time? You should see a typical
saw tooth.

> I have two SOLR 5 servers, one is the master and one is the slave.

> They both run on identical VMs with 16GB of RAM. In solr.in.sh, we are

> SOLR_JAVA_MEM="-Xms512m -Xmx7168m"
>
> The two servers are balanced behind haproxy, and identical numbers and
> types of queries flow to both servers. Indexing only happens once a

> When viewing the memory usage of the servers, the master server's JVM
