Tuning ColdFusion Solr: Part 1

In ColdFusion administrator, under "Solr Server", click on "Show Advanced Settings" and you will see a text box labled "Solr Buffer Limit". This is set to 40. This means when indexing documents, documents will be committed after every 40 KB of data. If you have allocated enough memory for ColdFusion say 1024m, increase this value to 80 and you can see increase in performance when indexing huge amount of data (especially text files).
