Strange Hybris 6.3 Commerce B2C Accelerator Build Error on Windows 10

A month ago, a client asked me to build Hybris 6.3 on his Windows 10 laptop to demo the new 6.3 functionality. Since this was a local machine, I decided to install Hybris using the B2C Acclerator. Pretty harmless, right?. I ran the following install script from his command prompt: install.bat -r b2c_acc initialize However, my build failed when loading the grunt-karma.js task. I did some research, and learned that there was a conflict with my client's local version of NodeJs/NPM. I removed the existing C:\Program Files\nodejs from my client's PATH environment variables list, and this resolved the issue.

Solr Configuration: Increase Number of Indexer Threads for Better Performance

Solr indexing performance (shorter index cycles) may improve by increasing the number of threads used in the jobs that send data to Solr for indexing. The OOTB setting (1) may be too low. Take into consideration, the number of available cores on the node instance that is transmitting data to the Solr Master indexing server,  and apply a factor of 1 - 1.5 x the number of available cores as a general guide.

Apache Solr Configuration

A dedicated master server used for indexing and two (2) slave instances used for querying is considered a standard Apache Solr architecture best practice. It's also very important to add a load balancer in front of the two slave instances. If one of the servers becomes unavailable, it will be removed from the load balancer until it goes back online again. While the server is unavailable, the second server will be available to respond to incoming search requests.
