Noble Paul commented on SOLR-12798:
-----------------------------------

bq. here are two problems with using UpdateRequest. First, as you point out, 
the entire document has to hit memory. 

this no longer is the case. The reason why I changed the interface is to ensure 
that we don't write everything to memory .You can provide a request that 
creates documents on the fly and the memory consumption is trivial.

bq.Yes, of course it can, but the way SolrJ is constructed it makes no use of 
this. In fact, it currently doesn't use multipart post at all, unless I 
override much functionality in order to force it to do so.

I have fixed this problem in the current SolrJ

> Structural changes in SolrJ since version 7.0.0 have effectively disabled

> Project ManifoldCF uses SolrJ to post documents to Solr.  When upgrading from 
> SolrJ 7.0.x to SolrJ 7.4, we encountered significant structural changes to 
> SolrJ's HttpSolrClient class that seemingly disable any use of multipart 
> post.  This is critical because ManifoldCF's documents often contain metadata 
> in excess of 4K that therefore cannot be stuffed into a URL.
> The changes in question seem to have been performed by Paul Noble on 
> 10/31/2017, with the introduction of the RequestWriter mechanism.  Basically, 
> if a request has a RequestWriter, it is used exclusively to write the 
> request, and that overrides the stream mechanism completely.  I haven't 
> chased it back to a specific ticket.
> ManifoldCF's usage of SolrJ involves the creation of 
> ContentStreamUpdateRequests for all posts meant for Solr Cell, and the 
> creation of UpdateRequests for posts not meant for Solr Cell (as well as for 
> delete and commit requests).  For our release cycle that is taking place 
> right now, we're shipping a modified version of HttpSolrClient that ignores 
> the RequestWriter when dealing with ContentStreamUpdateRequests.  We 
> apparently cannot use multipart for all requests because on the Solr side we 
> get "pfountz Should not get here!" errors on the Solr side when we do, which 
> generate HTTP error code 500 responses.  That should not happen either, in my 
> opinion.
