Each concurrent search in Solr runs in its own thread, so the answer is yes, it does so out of the box with concurrent searches. > Is Solr is capable to handle this situation? Yes and no. There is a limit to the number of concurrent connections and as far as I remember, it is 10.000 out of the box. If you are using SolrCloud, deadlocks might happen if you exceed the limit. Anyway, I would not recommend running 10.000 concurrent searches as it leads to congestion. You will probably get a higher throughput by queueing your requests and process then with 100 concurrent searches or so. Do test. - Toke Eskildsen
