Hello searchers, I'm researching solr for a project that would require a max-inserts(10M/s) and some heavy facet+fq on top of that, though on low qps.
And I'm trying to find blogs/slides where people have used some big machines instead of hundreds of small ones. 1. Largest I've found is this <https://sbdevel.wordpress.com/2016/11/30/70tb-16b-docs-4-machines-1-solrcloud/> with 16cores + 384GB ram but they were using 25! solr4 instances / server which seems wasteful to me ? I know that 1 solr can have max ~29-30GB heap because GC is wasteful/sucks after that, and you should leave the other amount to the os for file-cache. 2. But do you think 1 instance will be able to fully-use a 256GB/20core machine ? 3. Like to share your findings/links with big-machine clusters ? Thank You
