There are only two things I change from whatever SolrJ does by default: 
I set it to use http/1.1, and add basic authentication credentials. 
This is done with SolrJ methods ... I do not create or access the Jetty 
client directly.  No other client settings, including thread counts, 
have been touched.

I have asked SolrJ to always send POST requests, so I think the http 
header buffer size is unlikely to be the problem.  But maybe I am wrong.

I am using the latest SolrJ - 9.2.1.  This pulls in Jetty Client version 
10.0.13.  I have also tried upgrading all the Jetty dependencies to 
10.0.15 and there was no change.

At some point Solr is likely upgrading both the Jetty client and server 
beyond version 10, but I do not know when that is going to happen. 
Should we skip 11 and go straight to 12, if a stable 12 version is 
available in time?

I am a committer on the Solr project, but I wasn't involved in creating 
new SolrJ clients that use the Jetty client.  Every time I have tried to 
mess with upgrading jetty versions, I quickly get into problems that I 
cannot solve.

I really suspect that the older 9.4.48 Jetty server is having problems 
that have been fixed in later versions ... and that it is possible that 
it's a problem created by how Solr uses Jetty.  I don't have the 
knowledge required to look deeper into it.  I gathered that debug log 
that I included earlier in the thread, but don't know what to look for, 
and don't know whether it even has what's needed to troubleshoot.

I do not know how much of Solr's code is generic webapp and how much is 
specific to Jetty.  We ditched the notion of a generic .war file or 
extracted webapp quite a while back, and only support running Solr in 
the included scripting which uses Jetty.

Thanks,
Shawn
