Thanks for reviewing Mike.
With regards to the ContentStreamUpdateRequest... I actually hadn't thought
about using it for deletes, but I just did a test and it worked. So it should
work for almost any add/update/delete example in the Solr documentation. It
would just require an upstream processor that was producing the right commands,
where as for the case of adding new documents it seems more likely that you
already have some data (json, csv, etc) that you can just fork into Solr.
I was thinking there eventually might be a use case for another type of
"PutSolr" processor that reads in data in a standard format (maybe avro) and
converted to a SolrInputDocument, but seemed like the ContentStream approach
gave the most flexibility initially.
