Solr doesn't lock anything as far as I know, it just executes the query you specify. The query you specify may well do bad things to your database, but that's not Solr's fault. What happens if you simply try executing the query outside Solr? Do you see the same "locking" behavior?
You might want to consider using SolrJ along with the jdbc driver of your choice rather than DIH if DIH is causing you grief.
