SOLRCloud - Small Index - Full Index Strategy

[ade-b <ad...@gmail.com>]

Hi

We are moving from running the Endeca search engine to SOLRcloud. We have a
comparatively small index compared to a lot of companies (approx 150,000
records).

To potentially keep things simple in the first release to the production
environment we are considering running a full index every 15 minutes (i.e.
we are not doing deltas). In our performance environment the full index
currently takes approximately 11 minutes to run (approx 4 minutes of this is
writing to SOLR).

Naturally we see spikes in CPU on the SOLR servers during this 4 minute
period, but it does not significantly impact the response times/throughput
to the clients that are reading from SOLR.

I have attached a CPU graph that shows the spikes. Were you see the CPU
hovering around 20%, this is when  we are running load tests.

My question is, does anybody else use SOLRcloud in this way (i.e. similar
index size/full index strategy) or does anybody see issues with this setup?
