Hey all, I was wondering if I could get some JVM/GC tuning advice to resolve an issue that we are experiencing.
Full disclaimer, I am in no way a JVM/Solr expert so any advice you can render would be greatly appreciated. Our Solr cloud nodes are having issues throwing OOM exceptions under load. This issue has only started manifesting itself over the last few months during which time the only change I can discern is an increase in index size. They are running Solr 5.5.2 on OpenJDK version "1.8.0_101". The index is currently 58G and the server has 46G of physical RAM and runs nothing other than the Solr node. The JVM is invoked with the following JVM options: -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=50 -XX:CMSMaxAbortablePrecleanTime=6000 -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+CMSScavengeBeforeRemark -XX:ConcGCThreads=4 -XX:InitialHeapSize=12884901888 -XX:+ManagementServer -XX:MaxHeapSize=12884901888 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=8 -XX:NewRatio=3 -XX:OldPLABSize=16 -XX:OnOutOfMemoryError=/opt/solr/bin/oom_solr.sh 30000 /data/gnpd/solr/logs -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:PretenureSizeThreshold=67108864 -XX:+PrintGC -XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -XX:SurvivorRatio=4 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+UseCompressedClassPointers -XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC These values were decided upon serveral years by a colleague based upon some suggestions from this mailing group with an index size ~25G. I have imported the GC logs into GCViewer and attached a link to a screenshot showing the lead up to a OOM crash. Interestingly the young generation space is almost empty before the repeated GC's and subsequent crash. https://imgur.com/a/Wtlez I was considering slowly increasing the amount of heap available to the JVM slowly until the crashes, any other suggestions? I'm looking at trying to get the nodes stable without having issues with the GC taking forever to run. Additional information can be provided on request. Cheers!
