My goodness. We do 4 million in about 1/2 HOUR (7+ million in 40 minutes).
First question: Are you somehow forcing Solr to do a commit for each and every record? If so, that way leads to the house of PAIN. The thing to do next, I suppose, might be to try and figure out whether the issue is in Solr proper, or in the database you are importing from. What does your query against your database look like? How many fields do you have per record (we have around 30, counting copyField destinations) Using a performance monitoring tool, try and find out the CPU utilization, memory utilization, page write rates and physical disk drive queue lengths to narrow down which of the two systems are having the problem (assuming your database is not on the same machine as Solr!)

It took 5 days to complete this process. Can you please suggest how this can be improved? I would like this to be done in less than 6 hrs.
