Unfortunately I never got any response. However I did a POC with a Document containing 400 fields and loaded around 1000 docs to my local machine. I didn’t see any issue but then again the document set was very small. Hopefully as mentioned below providing enough memory should help alleviate any performance issues.

There was a similar issue recently, where someone had 400 faceted fields with 50-70 facets per query and they were running out of memory due to accumulation of the FieldCache for these faceted fields, but that was on a 3 GB system. It probably could be done, assuming a fair number of 64-bit sharded machines. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Darren Govoni Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2012 7:56 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Documents With large number of fields Was there a response to this?
