: the easiest way to get rolling. A simple script that recurses your folders
: and issues a simple request posting each file in turn to Solr will give you a
: full text searchable index in no time (well, ok, it'll take a little time, but
: it'll be as fast as anything else out there).
if all the files are "local" on the machine that Solr is running on you
don't even need to POST them, Solr can be configured to read the files by
local filename using the "stream.file" param...

that said: if your fileserver implementation already exposes all of the
files over HTTP, then using Nutch and it's crawler might be an easier way
to get started on indexing all of them ... hard to say without being in
your shoes. you may want to experiement with both.
