Hello,
Solr 5.2.1. I'm using the collection API migrate statement in our test environment with the view to implement a Hot, Cold arrangement- newer documents will be kept on the Hot collection and each night the oldest documents will be migrated into the Cold collection. I've got it all working with a small amount of documents (around 28,000). I'm now trying to migrate around 200,000 documents and am getting 'migrate the collection time out:180s' message back. The logs from the source collection are: INFO - 2015-12-15 14:43:19.183; [HotSessions ] org.apache.solr.cloud.OverseerCollectionProcessor; Successfully created replica of temp source collection on target leader node INFO - 2015-12-15 14:43:19.183; [HotSessions ] org.apache.solr.cloud.OverseerCollectionProcessor; Requesting merge of temp source collection replica to target leader INFO - 2015-12-15 14:45:36.648; [ ] org.apache.solr.cloud.DistributedQueue$LatchWatcher; NodeDeleted fired on path /overseer/collection-queue-work/qnr-0000000004 state SyncConnected INFO - 2015-12-15 14:45:36.651; [ ] org.apache.solr.cloud.DistributedQueue$LatchWatcher; NodeChildrenChanged fired on path /overseer/collection-queue-work state SyncConnected ERROR - 2015-12-15 14:45:36.651; [ ] org.apache.solr.common.SolrException; org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: migrate the collection time out:180s at org.apache.solr.handler.admin.CollectionsHandler.handleResponse(CollectionsHandler.java:237) etc The logs from the target collection are: INFO - 2015-12-15 14:43:19.128; [split_shard1_temp_shard2 shard1 split_shard1_temp_shard2_shard1_replica2] org.apache.solr.update.UpdateLog; Took 22 ms to seed version buckets with highest version 1520634636692094979 INFO - 2015-12-15 14:43:19.129; [split_shard1_temp_shard2 shard1 split_shard1_temp_shard2_shard1_replica2] org.apache.solr.cloud.RecoveryStrategy; Finished recovery process. core=split_shard1_temp_shard2_shard1_replica2 INFO - 2015-12-15 14:43:19.199; [ ] org.apache.solr.update.DirectUpdateHandler2; start mergeIndexes{} As there are no errors in the target collection, am I right in assuming the timeout occured because the merge took too long? If that is so, how to I increase the timeout period? Ideally I will need to migrate around 2 million documents a night. Any help would be much appreciated. Philippa
