Shawn Heisey updated SOLR-10014:
--------------------------------
Attachment: SOLR-10014.patch
Patch with an idea for how to implement the warning. I can see that the
initIndex method has a "firstTime" boolean, but I don't think that method has
access to the objects needed to get the field count ... so for now I'm not
attempting to suppress the warning on reload. Also, the configuration option
for solrconfig.xml hasn't been worked out yet, so the threshold isn't
configurable yet. I'm pretty sure that I'm using the searcher object
incorrectly, but I'm not sure how to do it correctly.

> When the number of fields in an index gets extremely large, major performance
> problems can occur. If the number of fields in a core exceeds a configurable
> number, with a default somewhere around 10000, a warning should be logged
> when the SolrCore is first created. A decision needs to be made about
> whether to repeat the warning on core reload ... my instinct is that it
> should NOT be repeated, but I can see where a repeat might have some value.
> Logging on reloads as well as startup would likely be easier.
> This was discovered by a Solr user who had a 420MB index with 650K documents,
> but their applications were abusing dynamic fields to the point where they
> had about 2 million unique fields in the index. The small size of the index
> *should* have resulted in extremely fast commit times, but commits were
> taking about 10 seconds because of what Lucene had to do to handle all those
> fields.
