Dear mailing list community, we have troubles when starting the Suggester-Build on one of our production servers.
1. We execute the required query with the suggest.build parameter 2. It seems solr is taking up the task to recreate the suggester index (we see that the CPU rises significantly) 3. It takes forever to build (and seems to never finish!) 4. Sometimes the linux OOM killer strikes and usually picks the solr process and kills it 5. During the rebuild calling the suggester results in "suggester not built" exception 6. Restarting the solr-Service has no effect. It just continues the rebuild How long should it take for that task, given that our index currently holds approximately 7,2 Mio documents in a parent/child structure? Is it possible, to query the progress of the suggester.build task after it was started? How can we be sure, whether the suggester.build task is still running or whether it is finished? Which factors have the most significant impact on the duration of the rebuild process, given that we use the config below? (Let me now, if you need additional information) Can we speed up the process somehow? Best regards, Sebastian Solrconfig.xml <searchComponent name="suggest" class="solr.SuggestComponent"> <lst name="suggester"> <str name="name">infixSuggester</str> <str name="lookupImpl">AnalyzingInfixLookupFactory</str> <str name="indexPath">infix_suggestions</str> <!--<str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str>--> <str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str> <str name="field">SUGGEST</str> <str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">textSuggest</str> <str name="buildOnStartup">false</str> <str name="buildOnCommit">false</str> </lst> </searchComponent> <requestHandler name="/suggest" class="solr.SearchHandler" startup="lazy"> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="suggest">true</str> <str name="suggest.dictionary">infixSuggester</str> <str name="suggest.onlyMorePopular">true</str> <str name="suggest.count">500</str> <str name="suggest.collate">true</str> </lst> <arr name="components"> <str>suggest</str> </arr> </requestHandler> Mit freundlichen Grüßen Sebastian Riemer, BSc
