I noticed a while back that "sleep" is a function query. Which I believe means I can make the current query thread sleep for as long as I like.
I'm guessing an attacker could use this to starve Solr of threads, running a denial of service attack by running multiple queries with sleeps in them. Is this a concern? I realize there may be test purposes to sleep a function query, but I'm trying to think if there's really practical purpose to having sleep here.
