So I'll start with an ad hoc session manager within Solr. Where in Solr
should I add such a service?
You may be able to get what you need with just installing something like
clickstream:

If you need to integrate custom user handling and solr requests, you are
definatly in "solr - beyond the box" territory...
For session tracking, I am using a custom filter that extends
SolrDispatchFilter. This overrides:
protected void execute( HttpServletRequest req, SolrRequestHandler
handler, SolrQueryRequest sreq, SolrQueryResponse rsp) {
// a custom filter could add more stuff to the request before
passing it on.
// for example: sreq.getContext().put( "HttpServletRequest", req );
sreq.getCore().execute( handler, sreq, rsp );
}
In that function, I add the logged in user to the request context and
various custom handlers use that.
