solr-5.2.1: All folders in solr box(Linux) are sitting in RAM

Hi all,

i have a linux box with 48GB RAM .

In this box i have solr and jdk installed. i have few other folders as
well.

[solruser@server1 ~]$ du -sh *
4.0K    clusterstate.json
1.5M    Conf
15G     jdk1.8.0_25
151M    jdk_old
262M    jvm_1.7
538M    scripts
11G     solrhome

My actual index size is 9GB (inside solr installation directory solrhome)
.In solr admin UI the physical memory shows 32GB.

It seems all the folders are sitting in RAM . Kindly suggest how can i
avoid this?

Why do you want to avoid this? Having the index in RAM (either the JVM or OS)
is essential to fast querying. Perhaps you're being mislead by the
MMapDirectory's
consumption of the OS memory? See Uwe's excellent article here:
