: Our machines have around 8gb of ram and our index is 25gb. What are some good : values for those cache settings. Looks like we have the defaults in place... : : size="16384" : initialSize="4096" : autowarmCount="1024"
my personal opinion: set all three options to the same value (16384) it will make newSearcher opening take longer, but based on what you'v said so far (long gaps between commits, not looking for NRT behavior, primary goal is warming up caches) that should work well. -Hoss
