An add is one kind of update. ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient (Server in 4.x and earlier) automates the process of using multiple threads to send your update requests in parallel, but it comes with a downside -- all exceptions that Solr or SolrJ would normally throw due to problems with update requests will *never* make it to your application. The Solr server could be completely down when you start your program, and every update request you send will appear to succeed. If you care about your program knowing when updates fail, use HttpSolrClient or CloudSolrClient, and set up multiple threads that can send updates to Solr with that object. The client objects are fully thread safe, so you can use the same object in multiple threads with no problem. You will need to know how to properly write a multi-threaded program. Thanks, Shawn
