what's the way to warm up filter queries for a category field with 1000 possible values. Would I need to write 1000 lines manually in the solrconig.xml or what is the format?
Erick has given you awesome advice. Here's something a little bit different that doesn't invalidate his advice:
If you have enough free RAM (not used by programs) for good OS disk caching, then as soon as you do one query that checks this field, then all 1000 values for that field are likely to be in RAM, and the next query against that field is going to be lightning fast, because the operating system will not have to read the disk to get the information. Although it is slightly faster to get informatin out of Solr's caches than the OS disk cache, the operating system is far better at managing huge caches than Solr and Java are.
