I'm trying to figure out what my memory needs are for a rather large
dataset. I'm trying to build an auto-complete system for every
city/state/country in the world. I've got a geographic database, and have
setup the DIH to pull the proper data in. There are 2,784,937 documents
which I've formatted into JSON-like output, so there's a bit of data
associated with each one. Here is an example record:
Brooklyn, New York, United States?{ |id|: |2620829|,
|timezone|:|America/New_York|,|type|: |3|, |country|: { |id| : |229| },
|region|: { |id| : |3608| }, |city|: { |id|: |2616971|, |plainname|:
|Brooklyn|, |name|: |Brooklyn, New York, United States| }, |hint|:
|2300664|, |label|: |Brooklyn, New York, United States|, |value|:
|Brooklyn, New York, United States|, |title|: |Brooklyn, New York, United
States| }
I've got the spellchecker / suggester module setup, and I can confirm that
everything works properly with a smaller dataset (i.e. just a couple of
countries worth of cities/states). However I'm running into a big problem
when I try to index the entire dataset. The dataimport?command=full-import
works and the system comes to an idle state. It generates the following
data/index/ directory (I'm including it in case it gives any indication on
memory requirements):
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 2.2G Jan 17 00:13 _2w.fdt
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 22M Jan 17 00:13 _2w.fdx
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 131 Jan 17 00:13 _2w.fnm
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 134M Jan 17 00:13 _2w.frq
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 16M Jan 17 00:13 _2w.nrm
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 130M Jan 17 00:13 _2w.prx
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 9.2M Jan 17 00:13 _2w.tii
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 1.1G Jan 17 00:13 _2w.tis
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 20 Jan 17 00:13 segments.gen
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 291 Jan 17 00:13 segments_2
Next I try to run the suggest?spellcheck.build=true command, and I get the
following error:

I also get an error if after the dataimport command completes, I just exit
the SOLR process and restart it:

Basically this means once I've run a full-import, I cannot exit the SOLR
process because I receive this error no matter what when I restart the
process. I've tried with different -Xmx arguments, and I'm really at a loss
at this point. Is there any guideline to how much RAM I need? I've got 8GB
on this machine, although that could be increased if necessary. However, I
can't understand why it would need so much memory. Could I have something
configured incorrectly? I've been over the configs several times, trying to
get them down to the bare minimum.
Thanks for any assistance!
Dave
