Hi In continuing a previous conversation, I am attempting to not have to do optimizes on our continuously updated index in solr3.6.1 and I came across the mention of the reclaimDeletesWeight setting in this blog: http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2011/02/visualizing-lucenes-segment-merges.html
We do a *lot* of deletes in our index so I want to make the merges be more aggressive on reclaiming deletes, but I am having trouble finding much out about this setting. Does anyone have experience with this setting? Would the below accomplish what I want ie for it to go after deletes more aggressively than normal? I got the impression 10.0 was the default from looking at this code but I could be wrong: https://builds.apache.org/job/Lucene-Solr-Clover-trunk/lastSuccessfulBuild/clover-report/org/apache/lucene/index/TieredMergePolicy.html?id=3085 <mergePolicy class="org.apache.lucene.index.TieredMergePolicy"> <int name="maxMergeAtOnce">20</int> <int name="segmentsPerTier">8</int> <double name="reclaimDeletesWeight">20.0</double> </mergePolicy> Thanks Robert (Robi) Petersen Senior Software Engineer Search Department
