Christian Goeller commented on SOLR-1711:
-----------------------------------------

I tried out the comitted patch with SOLR 1.4.1 (built SOLR on my own). 
Unfortunately I still have an issue when having the following scenario:

Server: Runs SOLR servlet
Client: Adds documents to the index using the StreamingUpdateSolrServer in 
several threads.

If the server crashes or becomes unreachable for the client, the 
StreamingUpdateSolrServer on the client will end up in an infinite loop, trying 
to send requests to the server.
It should be possible to stop/shutdown/dispose the StreamingUpdateSolrServer 
somehow from another thread. 

Clearing the queue and stopping the executor service from outside stopps the 
infinite loop.

> While inserting a large pile of documents using StreamingUpdateSolrServer 
> there is a race condition as all Runner instances stop processing while the 
> blocking queue is full. With a high performance client this could happen 
> quite often, there is no way to recover from it at the client side.
> In StreamingUpdateSolrServer there is a BlockingQueue called queue to store 
> UpdateRequests, there are up to threadCount number of workers threads from 
> StreamingUpdateSolrServer.Runner to read that queue and push requests to a 
> Solr instance. If at one point the BlockingQueue is empty all workers stop 
> processing it and pushing the collected content to Solr which could be a time 
> consuming process, sometimes all worker threads are waiting for Solr. If at 
> this time the client fills the BlockingQueue to full all worker threads will 
> quit without processing any further and the main thread will block forever.
> There is a simple, well tested patch attached to handle this situation.
