In order to force a OOM do this: - index a sizable amount of docs with normal -Xmx, if you already have 350k docs indexed, that should be enough - now, stop solr and decrease memory, like -Xmx=15m, start it, and run a query with a facet on a field with very high cardinality, ask for all facets. If not enough, add another facet field etc. This is a sure way to get OOM
