When should one use timeAllowed in Solr 5.5.3? How much overhead is involved in it? Does it create a thread and a timer event if you use it? Or is the timer event used even if you don't set it explicitly?
We are thinking about using it for all requests. Just set it +10 milliseconds longer than our web requester timeout? Would that create a lot of overhead? Also what is the minimum value - what is the tradeoff? Setting it to 100 seems excessive, but might make sense on an autosuggest component? Also does it include the time to stream the result? So if the payload was super large, would it expire that? The other option is to set it to only requests > 5 seconds... ? -- Bill Bell billnb...@gmail.com cell 720-256-8076
