Hi Bernd, We didn't change any default settings.
Both 6.2.1 and 6.5.1 is running with same settings, same volume of data, same code, which means indexing rate is also same. In Case of 6.2.1 CPU is around 60 to 70%. But in 6.5.1 it's always around 95%. The CPU % in 6.5.1 is alarming for us and we keep getting alerts as it's always more than 95%. Basically, my question is why is that in 6.2.1 CPU is low and for 6.5.1 it's very high ? I though only I am facing this issue, but one more in the forum also raised this issue, but nothing concluded so far. In another thread Shawn also suggested changes wrt merge policy numbers. But CPU % didn't come down. But in 6.2.1 with default settings itself, it works fine and CPU is also normal. So created new thread to discuss wrt CPU utilization between old version (6.2.1 ) and new version (6.5.1+) Regards, -- Sent from: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-User-f472068.html
