Subject: Ranger and Ambari Infra Solr (or another Solr install) - OOM

Ranger uses Ambari Infra Solr (or another Apache Solr install) for storing 
Ranger Audit events for displaying in Ranger Admin. In our case, we have 
noticed quite a few Ambari Infra Solr OOM due to Ranger. I've talked with a few 
other people who are having very similar problems with OOM errors.

I've typed up some details about how the way Ranger is using Solr requires a 
lot of heap. I've also outlined the fix for this which significantly reduced 
the amount of heap memory required. I'm an Apache Lucene/Solr committer so this 
optimization/usage might not be immediately obvious to those using Solr 
especially version 5.x.

I can open a JIRA issue if this would be helpful to fix the managed-schema 
shipped with Ranger. This would also be something that should be fixed upstream 
with Ambari if possible when deploying Ranger and Ambari Infra Solr.
