Re: [xwiki-users] Solr Memory Issues

Hi, I'm experiencing frequent crashes that I think are related to Solr, and

appreciate any advice on how to fix them. I have a fairly large wiki (with several thousand attachments) running 5.4.3 on tomcat7, and it goes down multiple times a day. Sometimes it

remain unresponsive for a few minutes then come back on its own, other times it stays down until I restart tomcat. Usage runs anywhere from a

active users to several thousand, depending on time of day. Crashes

even when the number of users is low. Checking catalina.out and the localhost_access logs, there almost always appears to be requests related to solr around the time it goes down. Sometimes catalina.out shows a java heap out of memory error, but other times there are no errors in the logs at all, the site is just

I can usually reproduce the issue by running several searches back to

while browsing pages in another tab. While the searches are in progress, the responsiveness of browsing pages steadily drops until it times out.

usually only takes 5 or 10 searches before this happens. The other thing that makes me suspect Solr is that even when the site doesn't crash, while running a search in one tab, requests in the other

don't finish until the search is complete - it (subjectively, I know)

like other requests are suspended while Solr is thinking. Potentially related is that I occasionally also see JDBC connection pool related errors in the logs when it goes down - I have tried tweaking my connection pool size settings, to no avail. My current java memory settings are: JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xms2500m -Xmx2500m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" I've used everything from the 800m xwiki.org settings to 3GB+, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have also reduced the cache settings from 3000 back to 100 in xwiki.properties, which hasn't helped. My hibernate settings are: connection.pool.size = 100 statement_cache.size = 50 dbcp.maxActive = 100 dbcp.maxIdle = 10 dbcp.maxWait = 300000 Mysql max_connections is set to 290 I have changed nearly all of those numbers at some point, but nothing

to help. Any assistance is greatly appreciated - even just tips on how to troubleshoot what's actually taking the site down, since the logs aren't always useful. thanks, aaron _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
