No. The proper fast way to use it is to start many threads that all add docs to the same CloudSolrServer instance. In other words, currently, you must do the multi threading yourself. CloudSolrServer is "thread safe". > > 2) Will using ConcurrentUpdateSolr server increase indexing performance? Yes, but at the cost of having to specify a server to talk to - if it goes down, so does your indexing. It's also not very great at reporting errors. Finally, using multiple threads and CloudSolrServer, you can approach the performance of ConcurrentUpdateSolr server. - Mark > > ./Zahoor
