Hi David, Jason and Otis,
Thank you for the feedback on the question. It is very much appreciated.
To confirm what caches are being used, I will remove on of the Solr servers
from the cluster, restart it, note the status of the various Solr caches,
issue some MLT queries to it, and compare the status of the cache against
the notes previously taken. I believe this will provide the definitive
answer on this.
I will reply to this thread with my findings.
Kind regards,
Giammarco

This is correct, doc cache for previously read docs regardless of which
query read them and query cache for repeat query. Plus OS cache for actual
index files.

Purely from empirical observation, both the DocumentCache and
QueryResultCache are being populated and reused in reloads of a simple
MLT
search. You can see in the cache inserts how much extra-curricular
activity is happening to populate the MLT data by how many inserts and
lookups occur on the first load.
(lifted right out of the MLT wiki

There is no activity in the filterCache, fieldCache, or fieldValueCache -
and that makes plenty of sense.

I'm not the expert here, but perhaps what you're noticing is actually
the
OS's disk cache. The actual solr index isn't cached by solr, but as you
read
the blocks off disk the OS disk cache probably did cache those blocks
for
you. On the 2nd run the index blocks were read out of memory.
There was a very extensive discussion on this list not long back
titled:
Re: SolrCloud loadbalancing, replication, and failover look that
thread up
and you'll get a lot of in-depth on the topic.

Subject: More Like This and Caching
Hi all,
Could anybody explain which Solr cache (e.g. queryResultCache,
documentCache, fieldCache, etc.) can be used by the More Like This
handler?
One of my colleagues had previously suggested that the More Like This
handler does not take advantage of any of the Solr caches.
However, if I issue two identical MLT requests to the same Solr
instance,
the second request will execute much faster than the first request (for
example, the first request will execute in 200ms and the second request
will
execute in 20ms). This makes me believe that at least one of the Solr
caches
is being used by the More Like This handler.
I think the documentCache is the cache that is most likely being
used,
but
would you be able to confirm?
As information, I am currently using Solr version 3.6.1.
Kind regards,
Giammarco Schisani
