Hi Andre,

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I have verified the below requested memory related queries as suggested by
you. The Initial memory pool and Maximum memory pool are empty and please
find the attachment for the same.



 

We have checked the heap size with the command : java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal
-version | findstr /i "HeapSize PermSize ThreadStackSize"



 

Can you please guide how to increase the java memory pool heap size to 1GB ?

 

Cheers,

Alapan

Maybe.

Let's start with the last one : that is an "INFO" message, not an error.  It
tells you that this <Connector port="8080" ...>, which has a (probably
default) configuration with the maxThreads attribute set to 200, has reached
this value, and will not start any more additional threads to process new
requests.  Which means that apparently, there are already 200 threads
currently running and busy processing client requests at this time.

This could explain why the server is now "unresponsive" : after a while (as
its "accept queue" fills up), it will stop accepting new client connections,
as long as not at least one of these busy threads finishes what it is doing,
and becomes available to process another client request.

 

Unfortunately the previous exeception (> Aug 06, 2014 10:51:29 AM
org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log SEVERE:

> java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at..) kind of muddies the
waters, because after an out-of-memory error, many strange and wonderful
things can happen.

Including maybe 200 threads which would appear to be running and processing
client requests, but in reality are not doing anything useful anymore.

 

In your description, you mention that the machine is 64-bit and has 32 GB
RAM.

How much of that RAM is really available to the Java JVM which runs Tomcat ?
And what are the settings for the Heap size of Java/Tomcat ?

 

To check this, run the "tomcat6w.exe" program which comes with Tomcat (in
...(tomcat_dir)/bin), and have a look at the java tab, which tells you what
the "Initial/maximum memory pool" settings say.

 

You are running Solr/Lucene, which is a full-text search engine.  I am not a
specialist of Solr/Lucene per se, but search engines in general tend to use
a *lot* of memory to store intermediate search results, if the indexes being
managed are large (aka the searched collections are large).

And, also in general, they tend to have a poor failover behaviour when they
do not have enough memory to handle some search requests.

In the absence of any more information, and just making a somewhat
uneducated guess, I would tend to say that anything less than 1 GB for the
java "memory pool" (the Heap), is probably inadequate, unless this is just a
small test system with a small collection of indexed items.

 

Note : if my memory serves right, Solr is the part which runs under Tomcat,
and it is a front-end to Lucene, which is probably running in a separate
Java process.

And I don't know who here is really using up the memory.  But your "out of
Heap space" 

above is happening in Tomcat, so I'd concentrate on that first, and see
whether getting rid of that problem improves the situation.

 

 

Ah, and by the way, tomcat 6 is rather old and outdated by now.  You may
want to upgrade it to a more recent version (8, or at least 7).  That would
get you better support in the future.
