Hi James, What i did: * build a jar from the patch * downloaded the BDB library * added them to my classpath * download a nightly 4.1 Sol build * created a db config according to: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/branch_4x/solr/contrib/dataimporthandler/src/test/org/apache/solr/handler/dataimport/TestEphemeralCache.java
although i got things working, after 2 hours of indexing i stopped the proces. For that amount of data it took endeca 1h15. After looking at some of the tests in the patch i configured the data-config.xml as follows: <document> <entity name="END_FRG_PRODUCTS_VW" processor="SqlEntityProcessor" persistCacheImpl="org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.BerkleyBackedCache" persistCacheName="END_FRG_PRODUCTS_VW" persistCachePartitionNumber="0" persistCacheBaseDir="d:\cacheloc" berkleyInternalCacheSize="1000000" berkleyInternalShared="true" query="select PDT_ID, SEARCH_TITLE from END_FRG_PRODUCTS_VW"> <entity name="END_FRG_FEATURES_VW" processor="SqlEntityProcessor" persistCacheImpl="org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.BerkleyBackedCache" persistCacheName="FEATURE" cacheKey="PDT_ID" cacheLookup="END_FRG_PRODUCTS_VW.PDT_ID" berkleyInternalCacheSize="1000000" berkleyInternalShared="true" persistCacheBaseDir="d:\cacheloc" query="select * from END_FRG_FEATURES_VW"/> </entity> </document> Although different in behaviour: [snapshot from the indexing after 8 minutes: Requests: 2899, Fetched: 28974398, Skipped: 0, Processed: 2258] it was still slow and the parameter 'persistCacheBaseDir' has no effect. The difference in behaviour from the previous is that it had only 2 requests and hadn't processed anything after 2 hours. Hope you can help me.
