Hello, 

I'm having a slight "Catch-22" scenario going on with my Solr indexing
process. I'm using the DataImportHandler to pull a filepath from a database.
The problems is that Windows filepaths have the backslash character inside
their paths. 

\\some\filepath

So when insert this data into MySQL I have to use a "\\" in order to get it
to look like it should 

\\\\some\\filepath

And everything looks good when I put it into MySQL it looks like 

\\some\filepath

But when I index into Solr it looks like this

\\\\some\\filepath

Now I was thinking that I should just go back and put in single backslashes
again since it's printing the exact input that I used to put the string in
the table in MySQL but then it does this wonderful trick

\\somefilepath

It will recognize the front two but not that middle backslashes. 

I know this may seem like more of a MySQL kind of issue but is there any way
that I can get solr to recognize this escape character so it would print the
desired output?
