Hi everyone, We at MetaBrainz are trying to scale our solr cloud instance but are hitting a bottle-neck.
Each of the documents in our solr index is accompanied by a '_store' field that store our API compatible response for that document (which is basically parsed and displayed by our custom response writer). The main problem is that this field is very large (It takes upto 60-70% of our index) and because of this, Solr is struggling to keep up with our required reqs/s. Any ideas on how to improve upon this? I have a couple of options in mind - 1. Use caches extensively. 2. Have solr return only a doc id and fetch the response string from a KV store/fast db. About 2 - are there any solr plugins will allow me to do this? Thanks, Sam
