I don't know if you've seen this: https://lucidworks.com/blog/sizing-hardware-in-the-abstract-why-we-dont-have-a-definitive-answer/ There quite simply is no general answer. Scalability rarely follows a predictable curve based on the amount of hardware you use ... and what I've frequently found is that a given Solr install will perform *great* until some magic unknown threshold is reached, and then suddenly it's like somebody installed an analog modem in place of your network card. If you Google "performance curve knee" you will find some information on this phenomenon. The only way to know exactly how Solr will behave under a given workload is to set up the system and see what happens. After somebody gets enough experience with Solr, they can take a look at details for a specific install and *maybe* predict whether it will handle the load or not ... but I've frequently been wrong (in both directions) when trying to make that assessment.
