Hmmmm, my tuppence worth!
IMHO I do not think this should be built into solr. Doing it properly
leads to all kinds of nasty platform dependent issues... will we then
want to add notification features on success/failure? via email?
Ideally, all the scheduled activities on a system should be centralised
in one place such as cron, or as few places as possible. From a system
administration point of view there is then a single locations from where
everything can be viewed and controlled. There are generally
dependencies between different activities and having to chase around and
configure many separate proprietary schedulers is a nuisance as well as
being error prone.

Hello,
Is there a best way to schedule the DataImportHandler? The idea
being to schedule a delta-import every Sunday morning at 7am or perhaps
every hour without human intervention. Writing a cron job to do this
wouldn't be difficult. I'm just wondering is this a built in feature?
