Hello Daniel.
Your I/O issue may be due to clients not always closing/releasing
connections to the Solr Server, or not having a timeout set on the clients
I would suggest that when the incident occurs, you run netstat on the Solr
boxes.
Chances are,  a lot of connections would be in CLOSE_WAIT or TIME_WAIT
state.

Thanks.

Arcadius.
