Hi,
why don't you use JMeter? It would give you greater control over the tests
you wish to make.
It has many different samplers that will let you run different scenarios
using your existing set of queries.
ab is great when you want to evaluate the performance of your server under
heavy load. But other than this, I don`t see much use to it. JMeter offers
many more options once you get to know it a little.
good luck

Subject: Benchmarking Solr
I am about to deploy Solr into our production environment and I would like
to
do some benchmarking to determine how many slaves I will need to set up.
Currently the only way I know how to benchmark is to use Apache Benchmark
but I would like to be able to send random requests to the Solr... not
just
one request over and over.
I have a sample data set of 5000 user entered queries and I would like to
be
able to use AB to benchmark against all these random queries. Is this
possible?
FYI our current index is ~1.5 gigs with ~5m documents and we will be using
faceting quite extensively. Are average requests per/day is ~2m. We will
be
running RHEL with about 8-12g ram. Any idea how many slaves might be
required to handle our load?
Thanks
