I second the original poster- all selects are blocked during commits. I have Master replicating to Slave. Indexing happens to Master, few docs/about every 30 secs Selects are run against Slave.
This is the pattern from the Slave log: Oct 30, 2012 12:33:23 AM org.apache.solr.core.SolrDeletionPolicy updateCommits INFO: newest commit = 1349195567630 Oct 30, 2012 12:33:42 AM org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore execute INFO: [core3] webapp=/solr path=/select During the 19 seconds that you see between the 2 lines, the /select is blocked, until the commit is done. This has nothing to do with jvm, I'm monitoring the memory and GC stats with jConsole and log. I played with all settings imaginable: commitWithin, commit=true, useColdSearcher, autoWarming settings from 0 on-nothing helps. The environment is: 3.6.0, RHEL Lunux 5.3.2, 64-bit, 96G RAM, 6 CPU cores, java 1.6.0_24, ~70 million docs. As soon as I suspend replication (command=disablepoll), everything becomes fast. As soon as I enable it - it pretty much becomes useless. Querying Master directly exibits the same problem of course. Thanks a lot for your help. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/solr-blocking-on-commit-tp474874p4017416.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
