The Well-Configured Solr Instance

This section tells you how to fine-tune your Solr instance for optimum performance. This section covers the following topics:

Configuring solrconfig.xml: Describes how to work with the main configuration file for Solr.

Core Admin and Configuring solr.xml: Describes how to configure your Solr core, or multiple Solr cores within a single instance.

Lucene IndexWriters: Describes how to configure the index writers in the underlying Lucene engine.

HTTP Request Dispatcher: Describes how to configure Solr's response to HTTP requests

JVM Settings: Gives some guidance on best practices for working with Java Virtual Machines.

The focus of this section is on configuring a single Solr instance. To scale a Solr implementation in a cluster environment, see SolrCloud. There are also options to scale through sharding or replication, described in the section Legacy Scaling and Distribution.
