Tom,
It looks like the machine might simply be running too many things.
> If the load is around 1 when Solr is not running, and this is a
dual-core server, it shows its already relatively busy (cca 50% idle).
The server is running the Postgresql and Apache/PHP as well, but without
solr the server condition is more than good (load usually less than 1,
sometimes , even dring rush hours we observed 1m load avg 0,68).
It is double dual core so load 1 means 25% am I right (4 cores)?
Your caches are not small, so I am guessing you either have to have a relatively big heap, or your heap is not large enough and it's the GC that's causing high CPU load.
The java starts with Xmx3584m. Should that be fine for such cache
settings? By the way I'm wondering if we need such caches. I did check
query frequency for last 10 days (~70000 unique users) and most frequent
phrase appears ~150 times, and only 11 queries exists more than 100
times. I did not count if user used the same query but goes to next page.
Is this worthy to keep quite big cache in this cas?
If you are seeing Solr causing lots of IO, that's a sign the box doesn't have
enough memory for all those servers running comfortably on it.
We do have some free memory to use. Server has 8G RAM and mostly uses up
to 6G, I haven't seen the swap used yet. I would try to give more RAM
for java and use smaller cache to see if it would work.
