Upgraded from Solr 3.6.1 to 4.2.1. Since we wanted to use atomic updates, we enabled updateLog and made the few unstored int and boolean fields as "stored". We have a single master and a single slave and all the queries go only to the slave. We make only max. 50 atomic update requests/hour to the master.
Noticing that on restarting tomcat, the master Solr server takes several minutes to respond. This was not happening in 3.6.1. The slave is responding as quickly as before after restarting tomcat. Any ideas why only master would take this long?
