Otis' point was that you can also use too many threads. Both are correct. Make sure you are using enough threads to satisfy the indexing power you have, but don't use too many - there are diminishing returns and then negative returns over a given threshold that will depend on your hardware and data. Sorry about the wrong issue number. As far as 32 cores being common, it's not common yet based on what I see. On average, I'm still seeing a lot of 4-8 core hardware. 32 or more has so far proven to be the exception when supporting Solr users. I'm sure that will continue to shift. - Mark
