Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_18-b02, mixed mode). I also tried with 1.6 but didn't change. Changing -Xmx from 5000 to 3500 causes the problem to happen quicker The machine is an xlarge machine on amazon 7 GB of memory 20 EC2 Compute Units (8 virtual cores with 2.5 EC2 Compute Units each) 1690 GB of instance storage 64-bit platform I/O Performance: High API name: c1.xlarge Thank you for your help matt On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 11:57 PM, Lance Norskog <goks...@gmail.com> wrote: > Which version of Solr?
