Hi, I'd appreciate some explanation on what may be going on in the following scenario using multivalued fields and facets.
Solr version: 1.5 Our index contains 35 million docs, and our search is using 2 multivalued fields as facets. There are approx 5 million different values in one field and 5000 in the other. We are seeing the following, and I'm curious as what is actually happening in the background. The first search can take up to 5 minutes, all subsequent queries of any q return in under a second. This is fine unless you are the first search or new searcher. I plan on adding a first searcher and new searcher in the config to avoid long delays every time the index is updated (once a day) but I have concerns of the length of the delay in launching a new searcher, and whether this is causing too much overhead. Can someone explain to me what processes are going on in the backgroud that cause this behaviour so I can understand the implications or make some adjustments in the config to compensate. thanx Howard
