Thanks again for your kind input! I followed Tim's advice and tried to use MMapDirectory. Then I get outofmemory on solr startup (tried giving only 8G, 4G to JVM)
I guess this truely indicates that there arent sufficient memory for such a huge index. On another thread I posted days before, regarding splitting index for solrcloud, the answer I got was that it is not possible to split an existing index into a solrcloud configuration. I will try re-indexing with solrcloud instead... thanks -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/170G-index-1-5-billion-documents-out-of-memory-on-query-tp4042696p4042819.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
