- Upgrading to the new major version right after its release without waiting for the inevitable .1 release
- Explaining your, “I don’t need backups, I can always reindex” statement to your manager during an 8-hour reindexing session
- Taking down the whole Data Center with a single rows=1000000000000000 request while singing, “I want it all / I want it now”
- In a room full of Solr users wondering out loud why you’re not using Elasticsearch instead
- Splitting shards like it’s 1999
- Giving Solr’s JVM all the memory you’ve got and getting paged in the middle of the night
- Running hundreds of queries with facet.mincount=0 and facet.limit=-1 and wondering why the YouTube videos you’re trying to watch are being buffered
- Using shards=1 and replicationFactor=1 and wondering why only a single node in your hundred nodes cluster is being used
- Optimizing after commits, hard committing every 5 seconds, using openSearcher=true and still wondering why your terminal is all slow
- …and last but not least: not taking Sematext Solr guru @kucrafal’s upcoming Solr Training course in October in NYC! [Note: since this workshop has already taken place, stay up to date with future workshops at our Solr Training page]
