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

> 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.
