Hello! First of all I would suggest Solr user mailing list for a question like this. Anyway, we were experiencing similar problem with the older version of Solr 1.4 - in random situations, after index update on slaves we were getting response times from 1 to 20 seconds. After trying everything from I/O analysis to GC logging we updated SOLR to the newest version available and that solved response time issues.
Hope that helps. -- Regards, Rafał Kuć > Hey, > I've recently noticed that there is a very large spike in the QTime for > nodes serving queries, immediately after snappulling and snapinstalling. > The numbers i'm seeing there are obviously some kind of > lock-contention/concurrency issue, as I've monitored iostat/sar and its not > a disk IO > issue ( all the index is still mostly in the os caches, as is also > noticeable in the snappuller.log which runs very fast - the incremental > update to the > lucene index is minimal). > I'm using a strong machine (16GB 2xQuadCore, CentOS5) for this and from all > monitoring the CPU/Disk IO seems minimal through-out the day. > The update runs every 10 minutes, takes about 200seconds to complete (with > my current autoWarm settings)., and the index size > is about 20million documents (~6GB). queries/warmup involve mostly some > pre-fixed set of filters and facets. > I'm using a nightly build of solr from few months back ( nightly exported - > yonik - 2009-01-11 08:05:52 ) which should already have > the benefits of readonlyindexreader, NIOFS, UnInvertedIndex and > ConcurrentLRUCache (for filterCache). > I've read a related thread a guy called oleg posted ( > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-solr-user/200901.mbox/%3c339777.57289...@web50307.mail.re2.yahoo.com%3e) > , but did not see the thread concluded with any definite conclusion. > Please advise! > Best regards, > -Chak
