After About 4-5 hours the merge completed (ran out of heap)..as you suggested..it was having memory issues..
Read queries during the merge were working just fine (they were taking longer then normal ~30-60seconds). I think I need to do more reading on understanding the merge/optimization processes. I am beginning to think what I need to do is have lots of segments? (i.e. frequent merges..of smaller sized segments, wouldn't that speed up the merging process when it actually runs?). A couple things I'm trying to wrap my ahead around: Increasing the segments will improve indexing speed on the whole. The question I have is: when it needs to actually perform a merge: will having more segments be better (i.e. make the merge process faster)? or longer? ..having a 4 hour merge aka (indexing request) is not really acceptable (unless I can control when that merge happens). We are using our Solr server differently then most: Frequent Inserts (in batches), with few Reads. I would say having a 'long' query time is acceptable (say ~60 seconds). -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-Hanging-all-of-sudden-with-update-csv-tp2652903p2656457.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
