Common Operations

Apache Solr Benchmark provides the following built-in operation types.

bulk-index

Indexes documents from a corpus into a Solr collection in batches.

{
  "name": "bulk-index",
  "operation-type": "bulk-index",
  "bulk-size": 500,
  "collection": "nyc_taxis"
}

Parameter	Default	Description
bulk-size	500	Number of documents per batch
collection	(first collection in workload)	Target collection

search

Executes a Solr query and measures latency and throughput.

{
  "name": "match-all",
  "operation-type": "search",
  "body": {
    "query": "*:*",
    "rows": 10,
    "fl": "id"
  }
}

For Solr JSON DSL queries using structured query syntax:

{
  "name": "range-query",
  "operation-type": "search",
  "body": {
    "query": {
      "range": "pickup_datetime:[2015-01-01T00:00:00Z TO 2015-02-01T00:00:00Z]"
    }
  }
}

The body is passed directly as the Solr JSON query body. Use standard Solr JSON Request API syntax.

commit

Issues a hard commit to flush all pending documents.

{
  "name": "commit",
  "operation-type": "commit"
}

optimize

Issues an optimize (force-merge) command to reduce the number of index segments.

{
  "name": "optimize",
  "operation-type": "optimize",
  "max-num-segments": 1
}

Parameter	Default	Description
max-num-segments	1	Target segment count after optimization

create-collection

Creates a Solr collection.

{
  "name": "create-collection",
  "operation-type": "create-collection",
  "collection": "my_collection",
  "configset-path": "configsets/my_schema",
  "shards": 1,
  "nrt_replicas": 1
}

delete-collection

{
  "name": "delete-collection",
  "operation-type": "delete-collection",
  "collection": "my_collection"
}

raw-request

    }
  }
}
