I did notice that changing the batch_size in

fts_solr = url=http://solr.example.org:8983/solr/ soft_commit=yes batch_size=1000

does have an influence in how often the error occurs. Setting it to 1 or 
some huge number like 10000 reduces the chances quite a bit but not 
completely and also causes lots of small , or few but quite large 
requests to Solr, so its not a practical workaround.

Whats the current state of this bug? A fix for it would be very welcome, 
as it causes some trouble in our setup.
