We performed a full reindex for the first time against our largest database

java.long.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Running OOM killer script for process blah on port blah

Does this definitely indicate we need more memory or could it just be a heap
space adjustment issue? Is there a way to better diagnose what to do?

https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPerformanceProblems#Java_Heap

There are exactly two ways to deal with OOME:  Increase the available amount of the resource that's running out (heap space in this case), or change something so the program requires less of that resource.  Depending on the hardware and software configuration, either of these options might turn out to be impossible.

The rest of that wiki page discusses memory in general as well as heap memory.  If you have questions after reading the page, go ahead and ask them.

Thanks,
