Is there a useful guide somewhere that suggests system configurations for machines that will support multiple large-ish Solr indexes? I'm working on a group of library databases (journal article citations + abstracts, mostly), and need to provide some sort of helpful information to our hardware people. Other than "lots", is there an answer for "We have X millions of records, of Y average size, with Z peak simultaneous users, so the memory needed for reasonable search performance is _____"? Or is the limiting factor on search performance going to be something else?
[Standard caveat: I did try checking the solr-user archives, but was hampered by the fact that there's no search function. The cobbler's children go barefoot.] -- Thomas Dowling Ohio Library and Information Network tdowl...@ohiolink.edu
