with what works on your set up with your data. I started with the defaults, then dropped it to reallllly slow (1 thread 1 per), then just tried to dial it up and down. The last one I tried worked fine, it was fast enough to finish in a reasonable amount of
time and didn't slow down or crash. Your settings may not look like this, but here's something to try.</span>

So some extra detail for the mailing list archives... if your site keeps crashing before the indexers finish and you're not seeing any particular errors in the logs that make you think you have a problem with your data, try turning the knobs on your indexer
speed and see if that helps.</div>

It looks like maybe the indexer just eats up too much memory on BIG records and having too many (too many being 15ish) threads running causes it to crash. I know BIG is pretty subjective, if you have a bunch of resources (maybe a few thousand) AND those resources
all have ALLOTA (maybe a few thousand) children with ALLOTA subjects/agents/notes/stuff, then you might hit this problem. Seems like it's not the total number of resources, it's probably because those resources are big/complex/deep. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Dave,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the suggestion, but unless there is some direct limitation within Solr, that should not be an issue. My disk is at only about 50% of capacity and Solr should be able to expand as needed. In my case, I don't think there has been much addition
to Solr because I'm reindexing records which have been indexed already. So the deleted records are growing, but not the overall number of records. My index is currently at about 6GB.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any other thoughts out there? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Tom</div>

<br>
A thing we’ve hit a couple times is that Solr, at least in some configurations, needs substantial headroom on disk to perform well – I think it’s related to how it builds and maintains the index? So it might be worth looking to see if Solr is filling up the
disk enough that it can’t efficiently handle itself.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Just to follow up on my earlier post, I did get even lower numbers from Blake to try based upon what he used for our hosted account. But I'm seeing the same pattern in terms of slowdowns regarding the number of records that get processed/hour.
Is this typical? Is it just hitting records that have more work to be done? Or do I still have a resource issue.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">I note that the number of docs in Solr has not changed at all throughout the last couple of attempts, which again leads me to believe it has already handled these records (at least once) before and thus there is no more indexing to really
be done with the records which it is running through the PUI indexer again. Which leads back to the "why does PUI indexing restart each time from 0" question. How does one add an enhancement request to have this reviewed and (perhaps) changed?<u></u><u></u></p>
