Gora, just for my interests: does apache bench sends different queries, or from the logs, or always the same query? If it would be always the same query the cache of solr will come and make the response time super small.
I would like to find a tool or script where I can send my logfile to solr and measure some things ... because at the moment we are using fastbench and I would like to replace it ;-) Regards, Peter. > On Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:44:32 +0530 > Gora Mohanty <g...@srijan.in> wrote: > [...] > >> From some experiments, I see only a small difference between a >> text search on a field, and a numeric search on the corresponding >> numeric field. >> > [...] > > Well, I take that back.
