Have you tried to up the MaxHeapSize?

I tend to run solr and the development instance in a separate jetty (on a separate port) and actually restart the web server for the dev application every now and again. It doesn't take too long if you only have one webapp on jetty - I tend to use mvn jetty:run on the CLI rather than launch jetty in eclipse. I also use JRebel to reduce the number of restarts needed during dev.

As for a production instance, should you need to redeploy that often?

 Hi guys

I'm facing an error in our production environment with our search application based on maven with spring + solrj.

When I try to change a class, or try to redeploy/restart an application, I catch a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen

I've tryed to understand the cause of this and also I've succeded in reproducing this issue on my local develop environment by just restarting the jetty several time (I'm using eclipse + maven plugin).

The logs obtained are those:

The exception is always thrown while solr init is performed after a restart (this is the reason why I'm asking your support ;) )

It seems that while solr is trying to be set up (by [Timer-1]), another thread ([Finalizer]) is trying to close it. I can see from the Solr code that this exception is thrown always in the same place: SolrCore.java:1068.
Here there is a comment that say:

   // need to close the searcher here??? we shouldn't have to.
          throw new RuntimeException(th);
        } finally {
          if (newestSearcher != null) {
            newestSearcher.decref();
          }
        }

I'm using slorj lib in a Spring container, so I'm supposing that Spring will manage the relase of all the singleton classes. Should I do something other like force closing solr?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best regards

Antonio
