Gus Heck commented on SOLR-13446: --------------------------------- Modern JVM default is 1/4 of system memory in most cases IIRC. Just let the JVM do it's thing? > Improve default heap size and related handling > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-13446 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13446 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Components: scripts and tools > Affects Versions: 8.0 > Reporter: Shawn Heisey > Priority: Minor > > Solr's scripts have a default max heap setting of 512MB. I think it's fair > to say that for a production install, this is ridiculously small. Nearly > everyone who runs a Solr server will need to increase this value. > I think it would be useful to issue a warning in the log when the heap size > is below a certain value. Text like "Detected max heap size is XXXX. It > might be necessary to increase the heap size for proper operation. See > https://lucene.apache.org/solr/path/to/ref/guide/location for details." > For people who are running very small servers, there should be a config > option to turn off that logging when somebody knows that the default heap > size is perfectly fine for their setup. > At the same time, we also need to improve the default heap size. I'm going > to ask everyone to bikeshed about what the new default should be. Initial > thought is a 2GB default, to be made smaller automatically if detected system > memory is low. If the admin has explicitly set the heap size, then none of > this will take place. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
