Hi, I am using solr 4.6.1 on a Windows 7 server right now with 32 GB RAM.I have a SolrCloud with 3 shards, 2 replicas and an embedded Zookeeper on the 1 box.I have allocated -Xmx5GB RAM to each Solr instance when starting up with -XX:MaxNewSize:1636m
I see the Swap space(32.5G/64GB),JVM-Memory(521.1MB/4.73GB),Physical memory(11.07 GB/32GB) on Solr Admin UI. That usage is confusing me. The Swap space was going up when indexing 15 million documents but not the JVM-memory(which went up a max of 1.1G or so). So, does that mean I don't need to allocate that much RAM for each Solr instance ? Could someone explain the 3 terms clearly in terms of their use in Indexing and Querying: Swap space, JVM-memory and Physical memory ? TIA, Vijay
