Vijay Sekhri commented on SOLR-7030:
------------------------------------

Thank you Shawn. I have posted my question to both IRC and mailing list.
FYI 
All our searchers have 12 GB of RAM available and have quad core Intel(R) 
Xeon(R) CPU X5570 @ 2.93GHz. There is only one java process running i.e jboss 
and solr in it . All 12 GB is available as heap for the java process.  We have 
observed that the heap memory of the java process average around 8 - 10 GB from 
the admin console. All searchers have final index size of 9 GB. So in total 
there are 9X10 (shards) =  90GB worth of index files (after the indexing 
finishes).

Please also NOTE that we have tried 15 minute soft commit setting and 30 
minutes hard commit settings. Same time settings for both, 30 minute soft 
commit and an hour hard commit setting already. The only option we have not 
tried is the auto commit with open searcher true. We will give that a try also. 
We have even tried no commit what so ever option. We observed the tlogs growing 
huge as that was expected , however the replicas still after a while goes in 
recovery. 
My suspicion is that solr cloud is unable to keep up with the updates at the 
rate we are sending while it is trying to be consistent with all the replicas.

> replicas goes in recovery mode right after update

>          Components: SolrCloud

> We have a cluster of solr cloud server with 10 shards and 4 replicas in each 
> shard in our stress environment.  In our prod environment we will have 10 
> shards and 15 replicas in each shard.  Our current commit settings are as 
> follows
>         <autoSoftCommit>
>             <maxDocs>500000</maxDocs>
>             <maxTime>180000</maxTime>
>         </autoSoftCommit>
>         <autoCommit>
>             <maxDocs>2000000</maxDocs>
>             <maxTime>180000</maxTime>
>             <openSearcher>false</openSearcher>
>         </autoCommit>
> We indexed roughly 90 Million docs. We have two different ways to index 
> documents 
> a)    Full indexing. It takes 4 hours to index 90 Million docs and the rate 
> of docs coming to the searcher is around 6000 per second
> b)    Incremental indexing. It takes an hour to indexed delta changes. 
> Roughly there are 3 million changes and rate of docs coming to the searchers 
> is 2500 per second 
> We have two collections search1 and search2. When we do full indexing , we do 
> it in search2 collection while search1 is serving live traffic. After it 
> finishes we swap the collection using aliases so that the search2 collection 
> serves live traffic while search1 becomes available for next full indexing 
> run. 
> When we do incremental indexing we do it in the search1 collection which is 
> serving live traffic.
> All our searchers have 12 GB of RAM available and have quad core  Intel(R) 
> Xeon(R) CPU X5570  @ 2.93GHz
> We have observed the following issue when we trigger indexing . 
> In about 10 minutes after we trigger indexing on 14 parallel hosts, the 
> replicas goes in to recovery mode. This happens to all the shards . In about 
> 20 minutes more and more replicas start going into recovery mode. After about 
> half an hour all replicas except the leader are in recovery mode. We cannot 
> throttle the indexing load as that will increase our overall indexing time. 
> So to overcome this issue, we remove all the replicas before we trigger the 
> indexing and then add them back after the indexing finishes.
> We observe the same behavior of replicas going into recovery when we do 
> incremental indexing. We cannot remove replicas during our incremental 
> indexing because it is also serving live traffic. We tried to throttle our 
> indexing speed , however the cluster still goes into recovery .
> If we leave the cluster as it , when the indexing finishes , it eventually 
> recovers after a while. As it is serving live traffic we cannot have these 
> replicas go into recovery mode because it degrades the search performance 
> also , our tests have shown. 
> We have tried different commit settings like below
> a)    No auto soft commit, no auto hard commit and a commit triggered at the 
> end of indexing
> b)    No auto soft commit, yes auto hard commit and a commit in the end of 
> indexing
> c)    Yes auto soft commit , no auto hard commit 
> d)    Yes auto soft commit , yes auto hard commit 
> e)    Different frequency setting for commits for above
> Unfortunately all the above yields the same behavior . The replicas still 
> goes  in recovery
> We have increased the zookeeper timeout from 30 seconds to 5 minutes and the 
> problem persists. 
> Is there any setting that would fix this issue ?
