Thanks Erik and Emir. Erik: The fact that SolrJ is aware of SolrCloud is enough to put it over plain old HTTP post.
Emir: I looked into Solr's data import handler, unfortunately, it won't work for my need. To close the loop on this question, I will need to enable Jetty's SSL (the jetty that comes with Solr 5.1). If I do so, will SolrJ still work, can I assume that SolrJ supports SSL? I Google'ed but cannot find the answer. Thanks again.
