hi, I am running solr 1.4.1 and java 1.6 with 6GB heap and the following GC settings: gc_args="-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:NewSize=2g -XX:MaxNewSize=2g -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=60"
So 6GB total heap and 2GB allocated to eden space. I have caching, autocommit and auto-warming commented out of solrconfig.xml After I index 500k docs and call commit/optimize (via URL after indexing has completed) my RAM usage is only about 1.5GB, but then if I stop and restart my Solr server over the same data the RAM immediately jumps to about 4GB and I can't understand why there is a difference here? As this is close to the old gen limit -- i quickly find that Solr becomes unresponsive. The following shows that tii files are being loaded from 26MB files to consume over 200MB in RAM when I restart the server. is this expected? thanks for any help/advice in advance, bec :) ----------------- Rebecca-Watsons-iMac:work iwatson$ jmap -histo:live 8992 | head -30 num #instances #bytes class name ---------------------------------------------- 1: 18334714 1422732624 [C 2: 18332491 733299640 java.lang.String 3: 6104929 244197160 org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfo 4: 6104929 244197160 org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfo 5: 6104929 244197160 org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfo 6: 6104921 195357472 org.apache.lucene.index.Term 7: 6104921 195357472 org.apache.lucene.index.Term 8: 6104921 195357472 org.apache.lucene.index.Term 9: 224 146527408 [J 10: 10 48839592 [Lorg.apache.lucene.index.TermInfo; 11: 10 48839592 [Lorg.apache.lucene.index.Term; 12: 10 48839592 [Lorg.apache.lucene.index.TermInfo; 13: 10 48839592 [Lorg.apache.lucene.index.TermInfo; 14: 10 48839592 [Lorg.apache.lucene.index.Term; 15: 10 48839592 [Lorg.apache.lucene.index.Term; 16: 41630 6264728 <constMethodKlass> 17: 41630 5005104 <methodKlass> 18: 4049 4596352 <constantPoolKlass> 19: 4049 3049984 <instanceKlassKlass> 20: 3129 2580040 <constantPoolCacheKlass> 21: 49713 2418496 <symbolKlass> 22: 4983 1067192 [B 23: 4381 806104 java.lang.Class 24: 5979 533064 [[I 25: 6124 438080 [S 26: 7951 381648 java.util.HashMap$Entry 27: 2071 375744 [Ljava.util.HashMap$Entry; Rebecca-Watsons-iMac:work iwatson$ ls ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/*.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 26M 18 Aug 23:44 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_36.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 26M 19 Aug 00:06 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_69.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 25M 19 Aug 00:26 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_9d.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 24M 19 Aug 00:50 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_ch.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 25M 19 Aug 01:11 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_fj.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 3.1M 19 Aug 01:12 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_fq.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 3.1M 19 Aug 01:12 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_g1.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 167B 19 Aug 01:10 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_gb.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 3.1M 19 Aug 01:11 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_gc.tii -rw-r--r-- 1 iwatson staff 223K 19 Aug 01:23 ./mach-lcf/data/data-serv-lcf/artdoc1/index/_gd.tii
