Hi all,
We've recently built a patch that allows you to incorporate external
data into Solr queries - this is for data that for some reason you can't
index directly. My colleague has written a couple of blog posts
illustrating how to use it in an e-commerce setting, hope you find them
useful:

We're very interested in other use cases - one that occurs to us is
security filtering.
Cheers
Charlie
