We are currently using Solr Cloud Version 7.4 with SolrJ api to fetch data from collections. We recently deployed our code to production and noticed that response time is more if the number of incoming requests are less.
But strangely, if we bombard the system with more and more requests we get much better response time. My suspicion is client is closing the connections sooner in case of slower requests and slower in case of faster requests. We tried tuning by passing custom HTTPClient to SolrJ and also by updating HttpShardHandlerFactory settings. For example we made - maxThreadIdleTime = 60000 socketTimeOut = 180000 Wondering what other tuning we can do to make this perform the same irrespective of the number of requests. Thanks! Vidhya
