Faceting Performance Factors

2009-08-18 Thread CameronL
Our current search is faceting on a single integer field. The field is multi-valued. facet=true facet.mincount=1 facet.limit=-1 facet.field=fieldA The number of unique values in our index for fieldA is around 8000, and a typical query can return about 500 counts. A typical single document can

Plugin Performance Issues

2009-07-01 Thread CameronL
We recently created a custom class for our spellchecking implementation in Solr. We decided to include the class in a custom jar and deployed it to the /lib directory in solr_home to use it as a plugin. After a while (about 12 hours), the heap usage for Solr slowly starts to rise, and we

consuming with time? How large of a heap are you using, is Solr the only webapp in your TOmcat, and are you using sorting or faceting? Otis -- Sematext -- http://sematext.com/ -- Lucene - Solr - Nutch - Original Message From: CameronL cameron.develo...@gmail.com To: solr-user

LRUCache causing locked threads

2009-06-15 Thread CameronL
I've searched through the forums and seen a few similar problems to this, but nothing that seemed to help much. We're running Solr 1.3 on Tomcat 6.0.16 and Java 6. We've been having performance problems with our search, causing long query times under normal traffic. We've taken a thread dump

Re: LRUCache causing locked threads

Unfortunately upgrading to 1.4 isn't an option for us at the moment. Since we're stuck using 1.3, is there anything in particular we need to do to prevent these threads from locking (through configuration or something) or is this sort of expected/unavoidable using 1.3? Yonik Seeley-2 wrote:

Re: Boost Query effect with Standard Request Handler

So the bq parameter works with the standard request handler (I don't have to specify defType=dismax)?? I've been running a few tests and it doesn't seem to be picking up the bq. I've boosted one of the values very high (like 1000) compared to the other fields and it doesn't seem to be affecting

Boost Query effect with Standard Request Handler

2008-10-17 Thread CameronL
I'm trying to create the boost query (bq parameter) effect with the standard request handler. Unfortunately, going to the dismax handler isn't really an option for me, so I'm trying to create a similar effect. I have an integer field, 'searchTier', that sort of needs to be factored into every

Distributed Search Strategy / Shards

2008-08-07 Thread CameronL
What is the current strategy for doing distributed search for Solr? We currently have our index divided over 3 servers: solr1 solr2 solr3 In order to balance the load, our application calls each with a 'shards' parameter to get the data: solr1:8080/select?shards=solr1,solr2,solr3...

Multicore DataDir

The dataDir parameter specified in the core... element in multicore.xml does not seem to point to the correct directory. I commented out the dataDir element from solrconfig.xml in all of my cores. I could explicitly set the dataDir for each core in all of the solrconfig.xml files, but I would

My problem is a little complex, so please bear with me. I currently have a set of documents that need to be tiered, and depending on what tier they are in, a configurable boost should be applied, essentially affecting the score and ordering of the search results. My first idea was to create 10
