: We would like to know is there a maximum size of a xml file that can be : posted to Solr using the post.jar, maximum number of docs, etc. at one time : as well as how fast deletes can be achieved.
post.jar is provided purely as an extremeley trivial tool for beginers to use to manual post arbitrary files to Solr while reading the tutorial and first getting started with Solr. It is not intended to be a production tool for use in "production systems" for doing automated and/or programatic loading of data. (if "curl" existed ubiquitiously on every computer in the world capable of running java, post.jar would never have been created) If you want to have custom tools that talk to solr for loading/deleting docs, use whatever Solr client or HTTP library you are comfortable with in whatever programming language you are already using. If you are using Java please look at the SolrJ client library. -Hoss
