Hey Juan, It seems that DataImportHandler is not a right tool for your scenario and you'd better use Solr XML update protocol. * http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages
You still can work around your outdated GUI view problem with calling DIH synchronously, by adding synchronous=true to your request. But it won't solve the problem with two parallel requests from two users to single DIH request handler, because DIH doesn't support that, and if previous request is still running it bounces the second request.
