: Here are the stats, Im still a newbie to SOLR, so Im not totally sure : what this all means: : lookups : 1530036 : hits : 2 : hitratio : 0.00 : inserts : 1530035 : evictions : 1504435 : size : 25600
those numbers are telling you that your cache is capable of holding 25,600 items. you have attempted to lookup something in the cache 1,530,036 times, and only 2 of those times did you get a hit. you have added 1,530,035 items to the cache, and 1,504,435 items have been removed from your cache to make room for newer items. in short: your cache isn't really helping you at all. : Could you suggest a better configuration based on this? If that's what your stats look like after a single request, then i would guess you would need to make your cache size at least 1.6 million in order for it to be of any use in improving your facet speed. : My data is 492,000 records of book data. I am faceting on 4 fields: : author, subject, language, format. : Format and language are fairly simple as their are only a few unique : terms. Author and subject however are much different in that there are : thousands of unique terms. by the looks of it, you have a lot more then a few thousand unique terms in those two fields ... are you tokenizing on these fields? that's probably not what you want for ields you're going to facet on. -Hoss
