I'd advise setting it to a very low limit (like 2) and committing less often. Once you get too many overlapping searchers, things will slow to a crawl and that will just cause more to pile up.
The root cause is simply too many commits in conjunction with warming too long. If you are using a dev version of Solr 1.4, you might try commitWithin instead of explicit commits. (see SOLR-793) Depending how long warming takes, you may want to lower autowarm counts. -Yonik On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 2:14 PM, Jon Drukman <jdruk...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am getting hit by a storm of these once a day or so: > > SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error opening new searcher. > exceeded limit of maxWarmingSearchers=16, try again later. > > I keep bumping up maxWarmingSearchers.
