I have been using Jmeter to perform some load testing. In your case you might like to take a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#CSV_Data_Set_Config . This will allow you to use a random item from your query list.

Currently the only way I know how to benchmark is to use Apache Benchmark but I would like to be able to send random requests to the Solr... not just one request over and over. I have a sample data set of 5000 user entered queries and I would like to be able to use AB to benchmark against all these random queries. Is this possible? FYI our current index is ~1.5 gigs with ~5m documents and we will be using faceting quite extensively. Are average requests per/day is ~2m. We will be running RHEL with about 8-12g ram. Any idea how many slaves might be required to handle our load?
