If you've only got 32GB of RAM and there are five billion docs on the system, Solr performance will be dismal no matter what you do with docValues. Your index will be FAR larger than the amount of available RAM for caching. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPerformanceProblems#RAM With that many documents, even if you don't use RAM-hungry features like sorting and facets, you'll need a significant heap size, which will further reduce the amount of RAM on the system that the OS can use to cache the index. For good performance, Solr *relies* on the operating system caching a significant portion of the index. Thanks, Shawn
