I have two solr instances. One is a master and the other a slave, polling the master every 20 seconds or so for index updates. My application mainly queries the slave, so most of the load falls to it.
There are some areas of the application that do query the master, however. For instance, During the execution of an action (I am using the symfony 2 framework + solarium bundle + solarium lib) I query the master. I query not just once, but between 20-50 times during the lifetime of the execution of the action. You can assume that this amount of querying is tolerable. What occurs during the querying has left me perplexed. If I execute the action (make a page request through the browser), say twice, the set of results returned are different for each of the requests. To simplify, if the action only queried the master three times, then: page request one: (first query: 1 hits, second query: 0 hits, third query: 1 hits) page request two: (first query: 0 hits, second query: 1 hits, third query, 0 hits) There are no differences in the queries in the first page request and second (although the three queries themselves are different from each other). They are the exact same queries. I tail the request logs in the solr master instance, and it does log all of the requests, so all of the requests made by the application code are being received correctly by the master (this rules out any connection issues, application level issues), but it seems to get hits sometimes, while other times, not. When I perform the same query (that returned 0 hits during the execution of the action) in the front end solr interface, I do get the hit I am expecting. There is another server apart from the master, slave, and application, that runs a process that continuously updates the index based on changes detected in the source data - a relational database. Could anyone provide some insight on this inconsistent behavior? Why would solr produce two different results for the same query? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SOLR-inconsistent-results-tp4035888.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
