That should be no problem. You can likely eliminate large sections of config and most of the extra jars referenced in the example config, too. > 2) By default we re running with the Jetty web server.

You may have heard of Google App Engine. It runs Jetty. Also, Jetty is the *only* container that actually gets official testing. > 3) Based on the server specs mentioned above is there any Java related > configs we should implement to make the best use of our resources for the > best overall performance. > > 4) Anything else we should be aware of/watch out for? For your super-tiny index, the machine specs are extreme overkill, which is a good thing. You can probably run with a very small heap (512 to 1024MB or so), which probably also means you won't need to worry about GC tuning. I have GC tuning options, a redhat-friendly init script, and additional notes about installation on my wiki page: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ShawnHeisey Thanks, Shawn
