: these to solr very quickly but rapidly run into the 'too many files : open problem'.
too many filehandles may be because you aren't closing the connections in your update client ... or it could be a result of *not* using the compound file format (controlled via solrconfig.xml) Solr itself really doesn't use a lot of open files -- just the Lucene index files, but if you use the compound file format that really shouldn't be a problem (unless your file limit is really, really tiny) -Hoss
