Re: datadir configuration

[Gasol Wu]

Hi,

add JAVA_OPTS variable in TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh like below,
JAVA_OPTS=$JAVA_OPTS -Dsolr.home=/opt/solr
-Dsolr.foo.data.dir=/opt/solr/data

solr.data.dir must mapping to dataDir in solrconfig.xml

here is example (solrconfig.xml):
dataDir${solr.foo.data.dir:/default/path/to/datadir}/dataDir

 hello
 As I try to deploy my app on a tomcat server, I'd like to custome datadir
 variable outside the solrconfig.xml file.

 Is there a way to custom it in a context file?

 Thanks

 Hi,

 I'm running a read only index with SOLR 1.3 on a server with 8GB RAM and
 the
 Heap set to 6GB. The index contains 17 million documents and occupies 63GB
 of
 disc space with compression turned on. Replication frequency from the SOLR
 master is 5 minutes. The index should be able to support around 10
 concurrent
 searches.

 Now we start hitting RAM related errors like:

 - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space or
 - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

 which over time make the SOLR instance unresponsive.

 Before asking for advices on how to optimize my setup, I'd kindly ask for
 your
 experiences with setups of this size. Is it possible to run such a large
 index
 on only one server? Can I support even larger indexes when I tweak my
 configuration? Where's the limit when I need to split the index on multiple
 shards? When do I need to start considering a setup like/with Katta?

 Thanks for your insights,
