What is the Scalability Limit of CloudSolr, can it reach to index Billions of Documents and each document containing 400-500 Number Field(probably Float or Double). Is it possible and feasible to go with current CloudSolr Architecture or are there some other alternative or replacement.
In practice, you're going to run into problems resulting from insufficient system resources, not actual limitations in the software. This is likely to be the case with *any* search product. Buying the hardware for very large scaling is expensive, especially if you want it on something like Amazon EC2 rather than on your own physical machines.Solr wants there to be lots of RAM, especially when the indexes get huge.
The only hard limitation that Solr has is the same as the only hard limitation that Lucene has -- a single Lucene index is limited to a little over two billion documents. That's 2^31, the max value a Java integer will hold. SolrCloud overcomes that easily with a sharding, because you aren't dealing with a single Lucene index.
