Do you always retrieve the searcher via SolrQueryRequest.getSearcher()? If so, there should be no problem... but if you call SolrCore.getSearcher(), that is where leaks can happen if you don't decref the reference returned. > I also use the velocity response-writer (for debug purposes). > None store a searcher or params, I believe. > > I have a query in the query handler that is a thread-local (it's a large > "preferring" query that I add to every query). Could this be the reason? As long as it's a normal query that has not been rewritten or weighted, it should have no state tied to any particular reader/searcher and you should be fine. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com > I also have a thread-local that stores a date-formatter. > > Should I post my config? > > paul
