Removing all documents from your index because you said so.
Failed to clear Solr index: Connection to server 'http://localhost:8983/solr/update/?commit=true'                timed out: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=8983): Request timed out. (timeout=10)

Important thing here is that you shoudn't increase default timeout, because it could possibly block all your workers as haystack works synchronously. The best way to avoid this is to define multiple connections for reads and writes with different timeouts and define.

http://django-haystack.readthedocs.org/en/latest/settings.html#haystack-connections

And use routers for read and write separation http://django-haystack.readthedocs.org/en/v2.4.0/multiple_index.html#automatic-routing

You can bump up the TIMEOUT in settings.py.

For example

HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.solr_backend.SolrEngine',
        'URL': 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/solr/default',
        'INCLUDE_SPELLING': True,
        'TIMEOUT': 60 * 5,
    },
}
