Hello! Different queries can have different execution time, that's why I asked about the details. When running the scripts, is Solr CPU fully utilized? To tell more I would like to see what queries are run against Solr from scripts.
Do you have any information on network throughput between the server you are running scripts on and the Solr cluster? You wrote that the scripts are fine for 5 seconds and than they get slow. If your Solr cluster is not fully utilized I would take a look at the queries and what they return (ie. using faceting with facet.limit=-1) and seeing if the network is able to process those. -- Regards, Rafał Kuć Performance Monitoring * Log Analytics * Search Analytics Solr & Elasticsearch Support * http://sematext.com/ > Thanks Rafal for your reply, > My scripts are running on other independent machines so they does not > affect Solr, I did mention that the queries are not the same (that is why I > removed the query cache from solrconfig.xml), and I only get 1 result from > Solr (which is the top scored one so no sorting since it is by default > ordred by score) > 2013/12/26 Rafał Kuć <r....@solr.pl> >> Hello! >> >> Could you tell us more about your scripts?
