I'm using Solr 4.3 with tomcat7. When the number of concurrent writes and reads increase it is crash throwing this SocketException error. I do concurrent commits and searches through multiple clients. Any kind of help is appreciated. Here is the tomcat log(catalina.out) and solr.log
tomcat log(catalina.out):

This is more low level error. I found this question&answers in stackoverflow and the summary of the solutions is to verify if you are really closing all the sockets (it would be indirectly due the framework) and check if it doesn't have other exceptions swallowed (like it needs more memory).
