Queueing/too many files

[mark]

Hi,

I am wanting to index a very large number of documents. I can POST  
these to solr very quickly but rapidly run into the 'too many files  
open problem'.

Is there anyway to avoid this - either by solr blocking *before* the  
error or by it queuing the incoming documents until it can cope with  
them. I have tried using ulimit and reducing merge - but that just  
moves the problem along slightly

cheers
