On a related note, it'd be great if we could set up a series of
transformations to be done on data when it comes into the index,
before being indexed. I guess a custom tokenizer might be the best
way to do this though..?
ie:
-Post
-Data is cleaned up, properly escaped, etc
-Then data is passed to whatever tokenizer we want to use.

Is there a way to pass the solr server a set of documents without
all the fields present and only update the fields that are
provided leaving the remaining document fields intact or do I need

With Solr currently you cannot update a specific field, you have to
re-send the entire document to replace the existing one. However,
preliminary support for such capability has been contributed here:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-139 - this is not in its
final form, so this is to use at your own risk given the caveats
listed in that issue about concurrency.
I'm currently using the patch I posted to that issue in a
production environment and its working fine thus far, but it will
change in at least core ways and likely request parameter and
formatting ways before making its debut in Solr's trunk.
