Solr tries to do the best thing here, depending upon how many docs match the filter query. One method puts in a bitset for each entry, which is (maxDocs/8) bytes. maxDocs is reported on the admin/stats page. If the filter cache only hits a few documents, the size is smaller than that. You can think of this cache as a map where the key is the filter query (which is how they're re-used and how autowarm works) and the value for each key is the bitset or list. The size of the map is bounded by the size in solrconfig.xml. > For Query result cache > > size in memory = size in solrconfig.xml * the size of an id ??? > Pretty much. This is the maximum size, but each entry is the query plus a list of IDs that's up to <queryResultWindowSize> long. This cache is, by and large, the least of your worries. > > I would also like to know relation between solr's caches sizes and JVM max > size? Don't quite know what you're asking for here. There's nothing automatic that's sensitive to whether the JVM memory limits are about to be exceeded.

Here's a work-in-progress that Grant is working on, be aware that it's for trunk, not 3x. http://java.dzone.com/news/estimating-memory-and-storage Best Erick > Thanks, > Elisabeth
