It could be environment specific (specific of your "top" command implementation, OS, etc)
I have on CentOS 2986m "virtual" memory showing although -Xmx2g You have 10g "virtual" although -Xmx6g Don't trust it too much... "top" command may count OS buffers for opened files, network sockets, JVM DLLs itself, etc (which is outside Java GC responsibility); additionally to JVM memory... it counts all memory, not sure... if you don't have big values for 99.9%wa (which means WAIT I/O - disk swap usage) everyhing is fine... -----Original Message----- From: Denis Kuzmenok Sent: May-31-11 4:18 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Solr memory consumption I run multiple-core solr with flags: -Xms3g -Xmx6g -D64, but i see this in top after 6-8 hours and still raising: 17485 test 21 4 10.0g 7.4g 9760 S 308.2 31.3 448:00.75 java -Xms3g -Xmx6g -D64 -Dsolr.solr.home=/home/test/solr/example/multicore/ -jar start.jar Are there any ways to limit memory for sure?
