We are using a postgres server on a different host (same hardware as the test solr server). The reason we take the data from the postgres server is that is easy to automate testing since we use the same server to produce queries. In production we preload the solr from a csv file from a hive (hadoop) job and then only write updates ( < 500 / sec ). In our usecase we use solr as NoSQL dabase since we really want to do SHOULD queries against all the fields. The fields are typically very small text fields (<30 chars) but occasionally bigger but I don't think I have more than 128 chars on anything in the whole dataset.
