No, that's not likely to be the cause of the http errors. Even if there are problems opening a *new* searcher, there should be an existing searcher that works just fine. To get rid of that message in the log, you need to do commits a lot less frequently. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/FAQ#What_does_.22exceeded_limit_of_maxWarmingSearchers.3DX.22_mean.3F If it Solr that is returning the 503 error, there should be ERROR entries in the solr.log file. Usually 503 is an error returned by a load balancer or a proxy, not a web service. If there are *extremely* serious problems with the Solr install, Solr might return a 503, but those kinds of problems will generally keep Solr from working at all. If Solr sometimes works, then I don't think it's very likely that Solr is returning the 503. If there is something sitting between your client and Solr, you would need to check the logs on that system as well as Solr's logs. You may also need to discuss this with the people who created sunspot. Thanks, Shawn
