Question on solr 1.4 Replication
Hi, I am using data import handler to do full and delta import. I want to use the replication feature of solr 1.4 For that I wanted to understand 2 scenarios 1. What happens when the slave solr server tries to poll the master at the time delta import is running on master. Does the slave only copy those files which have changed so far on the master index or will the slave wait for the delta import to finish and in the next poll it will get the changes on the master index. 2. What happens when the slave is replicating the changes in the master index and the delta import is run at the same time on master. Will the slave be able to get the changes when the last delta import was run. Also I am not clear about ReplicateAfter replication configuration setting on master. Does it mean the slave will only be able to replicate the changes in the next poll once the commit/optimize is done on the master index. Thanks Gurjot
Improve indexing time
Hi, We have a solr index of size 626 MB and number of douments indexed are 141810. We have configured index based spellchecker with buildOnCommit option set to true. Spellcheck index is of size 8.67 MB. We use data import handler to create the index from scratch and also to update the index periodically. We have created the job to run full import once every week and the delta import after every 20 mins. The full import takes about 38 mins to complete and the delta import takes about 12 mins to complete. The index also serves the search queries (even at the time the delta import is running). The number of documents that are changed during every delta import are on an average 25 to 30. Is there a way to reduce the amount of time delta import takes to update the index. The system specs are MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition 8 GB RAM. Solr is set up on Tomcat 6.0 The CPU utilization of the tomcat.exe at the time of delta import is 60%. In the data-config.xml file there are 6 root entities for 6 database tables under the Document element. The first root entity gets the rows from table1, the 2nd root entity gets the rows from table2 ...so on. The root entities have several child entities to get the fields from associated tables. The mergeFactor is set to 10 and ramBufferSizeMB is set to 32. The following is the cache setting filterCache class=solr.LRUCache size=16384 initialSize=4096 autowarmCount=4096/ queryResultCache class=solr.LRUCache size=16384 initialSize=4096 autowarmCount=4096/ documentCache class=solr.LRUCache size=16384 initialSize=16384 autowarmCount=0/ enableLazyFieldLoadingtrue/enableLazyFieldLoading Is it advisable to use master slave configuration. Does the index size of 626 MB validate the change from existing single solr core (on which delta import is done after every 20 mins and also serves search queries) to master slave configuration keeping into consideration that the index size will keep on increasing over time. Is there any other way to improve the indexing time. Thanks, Gurjot **
Monitor search traffic
Hi, Is there a way to monitor the number of search queries made on the solr index. Thanks Gurjot
Solr Document Sort
Hi, In the Solr schema file I have a integer type field named as 'ContentType' as follows field name=ContentType type=int indexed=true stored=true/ The values of this field can be one of the following: 1(for News) , 2(for Reviews), 3(for Opinion), 4(for Blogs) I have a scenario in which when a user does a search the result should be sorted by Best match(i.e. from Highest relevancy score to lowest score). At the same time I want the solr documents having Blogs as the value in the ContentType field appear at the bottom in the search result below the documents having News, Reviews or Opinion as the value in the ContentType. The way I am doing this is by first doing a sort on the ContentType Field and then doing a sort by score as follows. sort=ContentType asc,score desc Is there a better solution to do the same. Thanks Gurjot
