Re:Re: How to speed up solr search speed
Isn't it always one of these three? (from most likely to least likely, generally) Memory Disk Speed WebServer and it's code CPU. Memory and Disk are related, as swapping occurs between them. As long as memory is high enough, it becomes: Disk Speed WebServer and it's code CPU If the WebServer is configured to be as fast as is possible,THEN the CPU comes into play. So normally: 1/ Put enough memory in so it doesn't swap 2/ Buy the fastest damn disk/diskArrays/SolidState/HyperDrive RamDisk/RAIDed HyperDrive RamDisk that you can afford. 3/ Tune your webserver code. 1 GOOD *LAPTOP* with 8-16 gig of ram(with a 64bit OS), and an single, external SATA HyperDrive 64Gig RamDrive is SCREAMING, way beyond most single server boxes you'll pay to get hosting on.

Re:Re: How to speed up solr search speed
Hi. Shawn. My indexes are smaller than yours. I only store "id" + "type" in indexes so each "core" index is about 1 - 1.5GB on disk. I don't have so many servers/VPS as you have. In my option, my problem is not CPU. If possible, I prefer to add more memory to fit indexes in my server. At least at memory is cheaper. And I saw lots of my CPU time are wasted because no program can fullly use it. Is there a way to tell solr to load all indexes into memory? like memory directory in lucene. That would be breezing fast Btw, how do you get that status page? Thanks. Regards. Scott 在2010-07-17 23:38:58，"Shawn Heisey" 写道： > On 7/17/2010 3:28 AM, marship wrote: >> Hi.

Re:Re: How to speed up solr search speed
Hi. Peter and All. I merged my indexes today. Now each index stores 10M document. Now I only have 10 solr cores. And I used java -Xmx1g -jar -server start.jar to start the jetty server. At first I deployed them all on one search. The search speed is about 3s. Then I noticed from cmd output when search start, 4 of 10's QTime only cost about 10ms-500ms. The left 5 cost more, up to 2-3s. Then I put 6 on web server, 4 on another(DB, high load most time). Then the search speed goes down to about 1s most time. Now most search takes about 1s. That's great. I watched the jetty output on cmd windows on web server, now when each search start, I saw 2 of 6 costs 60ms-80ms. The another 4 cost 170ms - 700ms. I do believe the bottleneck is still the hard disk. But at least, the search speed at the moment is acceptable. Maybe i should try memdisk to see if that help. And for -Xmx1g, actually I only see jetty consume about 150M memory, consider now the index is 10x bigger. I don't think that works. I googled -Xmx is go enlarge the heap size. Not sure can that help search. I still have 3.5G memory free on server. Now the issue I found is search with "fq" argument looks slow down the search. Thanks All for your help and suggestions.

Get going that fast and it's the Ethernet connection that slows things down. Good gaming boards are now coming with dual ethernet IO stock with software preconfigured to issue requests via both and get delivered to both. One dies and it falls back to the other.

you mentioned that you have a lot of mem free, but your yetty containers only using between 40-60 mem. probably stating the obvious, but have you increased the -Xmx param like for instance: java -Xmx1024M -jar start.jar that way you're configuring the container to use a maximum of 1024 MB ram instead of the standard which is much lower (I'm not sure what exactly but it could well be 64MB for non -server, aligning with what you're seeing) Geert-Jan 2010/7/16 marship > Hi Tom Burton-West. > > Sorry looks my email ISP filtered out your replies.

Re:Re: How to speed up solr search speed
Hi. Peter. I think I am not using faceting, highlighting ... I read about them but don't know how to work with them. I am using the default "example" just change the indexed fields. For my case, I don't think solr can work as fast as 100-200ms on average. I tried some keywords on only single solr instance. It sometimes takes more than 20s. I just input 4 keywords. I agree it is keyword concerns. But the issue is it doesn't work consistently. When 37 instances on same server works at same time (when a distributed search start), it goes worse, I saw some solr cores execute very fast, 0ms, ~40ms, ~200ms. But more solr cores executed as ~2500ms, ~3500ms, ~6700ms. and about 5-10 solr cores need more than 17s. I have 70 cores running. And the search speed depends on the SLOWEST one. Even 69 cores can run at 1ms. but last one need 50s. then the distributed search speed is 50s. I am aware these cores on same server are interfering with each other. As I have lots of free memory. I want to know, with the prerequisite, can solr use more memory to avoid disk operation conflicts? Thanks. Regards. Scott 在2010-07-15 17:19:57，"Peter Karich" 写道： >How does your queries look like?

Re:RE: How to speed up solr search speed
Hi. Thanks for replying. My document has many different fields(about 30 fields, 10 different type of documents but these are not the point ) and I have to search over several fields. I was putting all 76M documents into several lucene indexes and use the default lucene.net ParaSearch to search over these indexes. That was slow, more than 20s. Then someone suggested I need to merge all our indexes into a huge one, he thought lucene can handle 76M documents in one index easily. Then I merged all the documents into a single huge one(which took me 3 days) . That time, the index folder is about 15G(I don't store info into index, just index them). Actually the search is still very slow, more than 20s too, and looks slower than use several indexes. Then I come to solr. Why I put 1M into each core is I found when a core has 1M document, the search speed is fast, range from 0-500ms, which is acceptable. I don't know how many documents to saved in one core is proper. The problem is even if I put 2M documents into each core. Then I have only 36 cores at the moment. But when our documents doubles in the future, same issue will rise again. So I don't think save 1M in each core is the issue. The issue is I put too many cores into one server. I don't have extra server to spread solr cores. So we have to improve solr search speed from some other way. Any suggestion? Regards.
