Hi Peter, This bug was introduced in Solr 7.7.0. It is related to Java 8. And it was fixed in Solr 7.7.2.
Here are the ways to deal with it: 1. Upgrade to Solr 7.7.2 2. Patch your Solr 7.7 3. Use Java 9+ You can read more on this here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13349 Regards, Oleksandr On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 8:31 PM Peter Lancaster < peter.lancas...@findmypast.com> wrote: > We have a solr cloud on v7.7.0 and we observe very high cpu usage when > we're indexing new documents. > > The solr cloud in question has 50 shards and 2 replicas of each and we're > using NRT.

It just seems really odd that it's using loads of cpu just to add a > single document and that the high usage lasts for the maxTime on the > autocommit. I'm guessing that whatever is making the single document > addition so inefficient is also affecting the performance of our live solr > cloud and contributing to the 100% cpu usage that we observe when adding > new documents.
