Hi, At Pubget we are also happy with jetty (distributed over a number of shards and just adding more this week).
Just search around for a good init.d script to start it up, and we use monit to keep it up: init.d snippet: START_COMMAND="java -Dsolr.data.dir=/solr8983 -Djetty.port=8983 -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=solrprod -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar start.jar" STOP_COMMAND="java -Dsolr.data.dir=/solr8983 -Djetty.port=8983 -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=solrprod -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar start.jar --stop" start() { echo -n "Starting $NAME" cd $SOLR_HOME rm -f /solr8983/index/lucene-*-write.lock $START_COMMAND 2> $LOG_FILE & sleep 2 echo `ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep "$START_COMMAND" | awk '{print $2}'` > $PIDFILE echo "Done" return 0 } stop() { echo -n "Stopping $NAME" cd $SOLR_HOME $STOP_COMMAND & pkill -9 -f solr8983 rm -f $PIDFILE echo "Done" return 0 } monit snippet: check process solr.production with pidfile /solr8983/solr.production.pid group search if failed host localhost port 8983 then restart start program = "/etc/init.d/solr.production start" stop program = "/etc/init.d/solr.production stop" if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 3:02 PM, Glen Newton <glen.new...@gmail.com> wrote: > Performance comparison link: > - "Jetty vs Tomcat: A Comparative Analysis". prepared by Greg Wilkins > - May, 2008. > http://www.webtide.com/choose/jetty.jsp > > > 2009/3/5 Erik Hatcher <e...@ehatchersolutions.com>: > > That being said...
