Hi All,

What are the limits on the:

  • The number of fields in a solr collection? 100K? 1 Million?
  • What is the max size for a particular field? 1MB 100MB? 1GB?

Thanks,

There is no preset limit on the number of fields that you can define in Solr. You will be limited by the resources that you allow Solr to access; RAM, disk etc. There are also cache settings to take into consideration. But when you mention numbers like 100K-1000K, I would suggest that you look at the design of your collections instead.

The limit in size for a particular field varies with the type of field. Here is a link to the solr wiki describing built-in solr fields.
