We are running 6.5.1 in a 16 node cluster, four shards and four replicas. It is performing brilliantly.
Our index is 18 million documents, but we have very heavy queries. Students are searching for homework help, so they paste in the entire problem. We truncate queries at 40 terms to limit the load, but we have a LOT of long queries. Our average query time is nicely under 500 milliseconds. I strongly recommend that you benchmark your data with your prod queries. JMeter can replay access logs. Versions after 6.4.0 and before 6.5.1 have performance issues because of the metrics reporting. Use 6.5.1. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On May 23, 2017, at 5:27 PM, Nawab Zada Asad Iqbal <khi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am planning to upgrade my solr.4.x installation to a recent stable > version.
