Hello! Can someone please help me understand the comment in solr 4.3.1's solrconfig.xml:
<!-- Use Cold Searcher If a search request comes in and there is no current registered searcher, then immediately register the still warming searcher and use it. If "false" then all requests will block until the first searcher is done warming. --> <useColdSearcher>false</useColdSearcher> What precisely happens when userColdSearcher is set to true and a request arrives while a searcher is warming up? - Does the state of warming slow down the search performance? Does it affect on anything else? - How does this setting interplay with soft commits? I.e. do soft-commits warm up searchers too? Regards, Dmitry
