Hi, What exactly do you mean by "slow" search? 1s? 10s? Which operating system, how many CPUs, which servlet container and how much RAM have you allocated to your JVM? (-Xmx) What kind and size of docs? Your numbers indicate about 100bytes per doc? What kind of searches? Facets? Sorting? Wildcards? Have you tried to "slim down" you schema by setting indexed="false" and stored="false" wherever possible?
First thought is that it's really impressive if you've managed to get 500mill docs into one index with only 8Gb RAM!! I would expect that to fail or best case be veery slow. If you have a beefy server I'd first try putting in 64Gb RAM, slim down your schema and perhaps even switch to Solr4.0(trunk) which is more RAM efficient. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com Solr Training - www.solrtraining.com On 17. okt. 2011, at 12:19, Jesús Martín García wrote: > Hi, > > I've got 500 millions of documents in solr everyone with the same number of > fields an similar width.
