Adding some safeguard measures to Solr with a SearchComponent

Just to be clear I wont be taking here about adding security to Solr, some documentation about this topic could be found in several places. I’m going to talk about some other kind of problems, those problems that comes when a user of your application requests a great amount of documents from your Solr cluster. Just to clarify perhaps your particular use case requires that your users can fetch a great deal of documents from Solr and in this case you should’ve planed for CPU and RAM requirements accordingly, taking into account your particular schema, cache, analyzers, and even using DocValues to improve query speed. But there are some cases when you just want to put some security measures to prevent your users from fetching a a lot of documents from Solr. Out of the box Solr comes without any options to deal with this case, and sure you could implement this in your app, but if you have several “clients” to your Solr data (this was my case), then you’ve to spread this change into all of those clients and every time you change something in one place it will be needed to change it in all the other pieces of code.
