: But I stil don't understand why in solr 1.4 that option was efficient : but in solr 3.5 not
Good question ... i'm not really sure. Frankly i forgot that option even existed (i missread your stack trace and thought it was just generating the DocSet for faceting ... that's why i wanted to see your cache stats, checking the number of evictions in situations like that is critical) I've opeend SOLR-2944 to try to investigate more. Any more details you can provide to help reproduce your situation would certainly be helpful. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2944 -Hoss
