timeAllowed applies to the time taken by the collector in each shard (TimeLimitingCollector). Once timeAllowed is exceeded the collector terminates early, returning any partial results it has and freeing the resources it was using. From Solr 5.0 timeAllowed also applies to the query expansion phase and SolrClient request retry.
From: solr-user@lucene.apache.org At: Aug 25 2015 10:18:07 Subject: Re:Query timeAllowed and its behavior. Hi, Kindly help me understand the query time allowed attribute. The following is set in solrconfig.xml. <int name="timeAllowed">300000</int> Does this setting stop the query from running after the timeAllowed is reached? If not is there a way to stop it as it will occupy resources in background for no benefit. Thanks, Modassar
