I see the problem. But I feel switching to async is too big a change and there could be simpler ways to address this. 1. Solr was used (I think still continue to be used) for many things it is not quite the right fit. It was done then becau

Didn't realize I could use `itertools.count`. In fact, it accepts a `start` parameter. The `take` function is borrowed from Haskell. It feels lot more natural to say/read `take(10, primes())`, than `islice(primes(), 10)`.
