: The fastest solr query I can find is any query on unused dynamic field name: : unused_dynamic_field_s:3
: A better ping query would be : : q=unused_dynamic_field_s:3 faster isn't neccessarily better for a ping query ... the goal of a ping query is typically to get a baseline sense of how long the box is taking to respond to fixed query for comparison with other solr instances. i tend to recomend that the ping query be something fairly complex, at least as intensive as the most intensive query you expect to see from clients. -Hoss
