Thank you!.

any ideas for the cpu spikes?

TMP is the third visualization.

Mike is probably the best resource for all the nitty-gritty of merge policies…

Best,

Why are you using LogByteSIzeMergePolicy? The current default is TieredMergePolicy, unless you have a specific reason, I’d just take explicit merge policies out of your solrconfig and use the defaults.
Just because I found an article that explains nicely how it works while I've not found such article for the TieredMergePolicy and I like to know what's happening under the hood.


That aside, I doubt it’s related. You could well see these spikes due to background merging, but that should have been present before as well.

Every 3-5 seconds is interesting, does that coincide with commits and/or opening searchers? If opening searchers, quite possibly autowarming if you have that configured.

The instance isn't doing anything, nor searches nor commits, no user interaction at all, except for web interface browsing to look for thread usageand such.

In the log I've not found anything that suggests opening a searcher or any other operation (browsing web interface excluded)

Hello all,

we have a solr instance with around 41MLN documents.

Recently we stopped our forcemerge policy that ensured only 1 segmentwas present at query time, because we read here in the ML and elsewhere that this is considered bad practice and it's also very time consuming.

So we implemented

<mergePolicyFactory class="org.apache.lucene.index.LogByteSizeMergePolicy">
<int name="mergeFactor">10</int>
</mergePolicyFactory>

I don't know if this is related to our problem, but recently we noticed spikes in CPU usage (without iowait, and that's the strange thing, because otherwise I would have thought about an automatic merge)

every 3-5 seconds.

I attach a picture of the metrics collected from the system hosting solr that show this behaviour, as well as the gc log.

Any idea why this can happen?

Thank you

Danilo
