I see. So when you said "Simple Searching during indexing ES is 50%
faster than Solr" was Solr really doing indexing and searching at the
same time?Yes. Simple search no faceting. I have "cache autowarming = 0" on solr and search response is good but ES is faster.
It just seems that ES should be more than 50% faster than Solr 3.3
(without NRT) in a concurrent searching/indexing use case.Yes. In my simple tests with 2M docs into the collection and one new doc added every second.
So your test is similar to this one:
http://engineering.socialcast.com/2011/05/realtime-search-solr-vs-elasticsearch/
According to the 3rd graph in that test, when 1 document was being
added per 3 seconds to an existing index, simple (no facet) search on
ES was at least 30-40 times faster than Solr. Yet you only measured
50% faster in your test.
I wondered why such a huge discrepancy between your test and his test.
