This can mean a *lot* of things. Index corruption is one of the last things I would suspect. It can happen, but it is highly unlikely. You would need to include the full error message (which could be more than one line) and the java stacktrace (which will be MANY lines). This may mean you need to find the logfile, not something that shows up in the admin UI. We'd also need to know the Solr version and as many other details about your server, java, Solr startup, and index as you can include. The config and schema would be great to have. Note that the mailing list does not deal well with attachments, so anything like screenshots and configs will generally need to be hosted elsewhere and linked. > So what is the solution that you can suggest me to use?

Solr is fully threadsafe. It can handle multiple concurrent requests. There was a relatively recent problem with multiple concurrent indexing requests against Solr when running in SolrCloud mode with many shards, but as far as I know this did not lead to problems starting a searcher, it caused indexing to hang and not proceed.
