I'm curious why this is occurring and whether i can prevent it. This is my scenario:
Locally I have an idle running solr 1.3 service using lucene 2.4.1 which has an index of ~330K documents containing ~10 fields each(total size ~12GB). Currently I've turned off all caching, lazy field loading, however i do have facet fields set for some request handlers. What i'm seeing is heap space usage increasing by ~1.2MB per 2 sec (by java.lang.String objects). I'm assuming they're being used by lucene but i may be wrong about that, since i have no actual data to confirm it. Why exactly is this happening, considering no requests are being serviced? Shouldn't the memory usage stabilise with a certain set of information and only be affected on requests? Additionally there is a full GC every half hour, which seems very unreasonable on a machine that isn't actually being used as a service. I really hope there's just a certain setting that i've overlooked, or a concept i'm not understanding because otherwise this behaviour seems very unreasonable...
