Github user kaspersorensen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/metamodel/pull/19#issuecomment-102836764 If you run a broad query like "SELECT * FROM [table]" then it should be able to get the results and not apply a limit. Not necesarily as part of the same request (that would in deed cause huge memory issues) but then using a paging or cursor approach. I did a quick google on "solr paging" and this seems quite doable: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Pagination+of+Results
