Hi All, I'm very new to Solr, and also fairly new Java and servlet containers, etc. I'm trying to set up Solr on a single machine with a distributed index. My current implementation uses Tomcat as a servlet container with multiple instances of Solr being served. Each instance of Solr is a shard of my index. I have two shards as I'm running this setup on a dual processor machine.
I'm benchmarking this setup and would expect that, given the two processors, search times for one shard would be roughly the same as search times across both. However, I'm finding that search times are about double when searching across both shards, which seems to indicate that both processors are not being used efficiently. Does anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong? Spreading things across different machines is not an option. Both indexes are being run off of the same disk, but this was also the case with my prior distributed search solution (using sphinx) in which I did see the expected performance boost.
