Hi! I'm a Solr newbie, and I don't understand why autocommits aren't happening in my Solr installation.
My one server running Solr: - Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), with all the latest updates. - Solr 1.4.0 running on Tomcat6 - Installation was done via "apt-get install solr-common solr-tomcat tomcat6-admin" My solrconfig.xml has: <autoCommit> <maxDocs>10000</maxDocs> <maxTime>10000</maxTime> </autoCommit> My code can add documents just fine. But after 12 hours, autocommit has never happened! Here's what I see on my Solr Admin pages: CORE: name: core class: version: 1.0 description: SolrCore stats: coreName : startTime : Thu Jul 22 21:38:30 UTC 2010 refCount : 2 aliases : [] name: searcher class: org.apache.solr.search.SolrIndexSearcher version: 1.0 description: index searcher stats: searcherName : searc...@10ed7f5c main caching : true numDocs : 0 maxDoc : 0 reader : SolrIndexReader{this=509f662e,r=readonlydirectoryrea...@509f662e,refCnt=1,segments=0} readerDir : org.apache.lucene.store.NIOFSDirectory@/var/lib/solr/data/index indexVersion : 1279834591965 openedAt : Thu Jul 22 23:58:28 UTC 2010 registeredAt : Thu Jul 22 23:58:28 UTC 2010 warmupTime : 3 name: searc...@10ed7f5c main class: org.apache.solr.search.SolrIndexSearcher version: 1.0 description: index searcher stats: searcherName : searc...@10ed7f5c main caching : true numDocs : 0 maxDoc : 0 reader : SolrIndexReader{this=509f662e,r=readonlydirectoryrea...@509f662e,refCnt=1,segments=0} readerDir : org.apache.lucene.store.NIOFSDirectory@/var/lib/solr/data/index indexVersion : 1279834591965 openedAt : Thu Jul 22 23:58:28 UTC 2010 registeredAt : Thu Jul 22 23:58:28 UTC 2010 warmupTime : 3 UPDATE HANDLERS: name: updateHandler class: org.apache.solr.update.DirectUpdateHandler2 version: 1.0 description: Update handler that efficiently directly updates the on-disk main lucene index stats: commits : 2 autocommits : 0 optimizes : 0 rollbacks : 0 expungeDeletes : 0 docsPending : 496590 adds : 496590 deletesById : 0 deletesByQuery : 0 errors : 0 cumulative_adds : 501989 cumulative_deletesById : 0 cumulative_deletesByQuery : 2 cumulative_errors : 0 There's nearly 500K pending commits, accumulated over the past 12 hours. I think we're past the specified autocommit limits. :-) What should I look at to figure out what's preventing autocommits? Thank you all in advance! John
