Can you give us bit more details about Solr heap parameters. Each node has 32Gb of RAM and we are using 8Gb for heap. Index size in each node is around 80Gb #of collections 30
Also can you give us info about auto commit (both hard and soft) you used when experienced OOM. <autoCommit> <maxTime>15000</maxTime> <maxDocs>15000</maxDocs> <openSearcher >false</openSearcher> </autoCommit> soft commit is not enabled. -Rahul On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 6:00 PM, Emir Arnautovic < emir.arnauto...@sematext.com> wrote: > Hi Rahul, > It is good that you commit only once, but not sure how external commits > can do something auto commit cannot. > Can you give us bit more details about Solr heap parameters.
