Thank you Tom for responding. On an average the docs are around 25-35 KB. The code is as follows, Kindly let me know if you see anything weird, a second pair of eyes always helps :-)
public List<String> deleteDocs(List<String> ids) throws SolrCustomException { CommonsHttpSolrServer server = (CommonsHttpSolrServer) getServerInstance(); List<String> unsuccessful = new ArrayList<String>(); try { if(ids!= null && !ids.isEmpty()) { for(String id : ids) { server.deleteById(id); } server.commit(); server.optimize(); } }catch(IOException ioex) { throw new SolrCustomException("IOException while deleting : ", ioex); }catch(SolrServerException solrex) { throw new SolrCustomException("Could not delete : ", solrex); } return unsuccessful; } private SolrServer getServerInstance() throws SolrCustomException { if(server != null) { return server; } else { String url = getServerURL(); log.debug("Server URL: " + url); try { server = new CommonsHttpSolrServer(url); server.setSoTimeout(1000000); // socket read timeout server.setConnectionTimeout(1000000); server.setDefaultMaxConnectionsPerHost(1000); server.setMaxTotalConnections(1000); server.setFollowRedirects(false); // defaults to false // allowCompression defaults to false.Server side must support gzip or deflate for this to have any effect. server.setAllowCompression(true); server.setMaxRetries(1); // defaults to 0. > 1 not recommended. } catch (MalformedURLException mex) { throw new SolrCustomException("Cannot resolve Solr Server at '" + url + "'\n", mex); } return server; } } Thanks, Ravi Kiran Bhaskar On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 6:16 PM, Tom Hill <solr-l...@worldware.com> wrote: > That''s a pretty low number of documents for auto complete.
