[chef] Solr dieing every few days

[Mark Rechler < >]

Hi Eeveryone,

I was wondering if anybody else has come across this behavior. Every few days Solr seems to die resulting in the processes needing to be killed and restarting chef-solr and chef-solr-indexer. The following appears in the logs at the time when Solr becomes unusable (Centos 5.6, chef 0.9.16):

solr-indexer.log:
FATAL: POST to Solr 'http://localhost:8983' failed.  Chef::Exceptions::SolrConnectionError exception: Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) attempting to contact http://localhost:8983

solr.log:
FATAL: Search Query to Solr 'http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=domain%3Afal&start=0&rows=1000&sort=X_CHEF_id_CHEF_X+asc&wt=ruby&indent=off&fq=%2BX_CHEF_database_CHEF_X%3Achef+%2BX_CHEF_type_CHEF_X%3Anode' failed.  Chef::Exceptions::SolrConnectionError exception: Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) attempting to contact http://localhost:8983
or
FATAL: Search Query to Solr 'http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=domain%3Afal&start=0&rows=1000&sort=X_CHEF_id_CHEF_X+asc&wt=ruby&indent=off&fq=%2BX_CHEF_database_CHEF_X%3Achef+%2BX_CHEF_type_CHEF_X%3Anode' failed.  Chef::Exceptions::SolrConnectionError exception: Timeout::Error: Timeout::Error attempting to contact http://localhost:8983

I've set the jetty timeout to an hour in case to see if it gets rid of the timeout errors.
Appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Mark
