System requirements for solr server? [closed]

Question

What is the minimum system requirements for the solr server to run & perform in better way ?

For example,

1. RAM size
2. Disk space & other details...

In my case, solr handles around 1GB of indexed data. Can you please specify the hardware/system requirements for this one to handle in better way...

Answer 1

There is no definitive answer to this question, as stated in this article - Sizing Hardware in the Abstract: Why We Don't Have a Definitive Answer. It all depends on your data, how your index is structured, etc.

Here are some additional resources that may assist you:

• Estimating Memory and Storage for Lucene/Solr
• Lucene/Solr Size Estimating Spreadsheet (from the previous article)

A good case in point is your comment that your index is performing well on a 4GB machine, but not on a 1GB machine.
