Hi Rusli, Without going into specifics, I can tell you that we're using DataImportHandler successfully in production with many millions of documents being imported from databases. Try it out and let us know if you face any problems. DataImportHandler will be part of Solr 1.3 (the next release) and may be committed quite soon after which you may not need to fiddle with patches.
