did you extend DIH to do this work? can you share code samples. I have
similar requirement where I need tp index database records and each record
has a column with document path so need to create another index for
documents (we allow users to search both index separately) in parallel with
reading some meta data of documents from database as well. I have all sorts
of different document formats to index. fyi; I am on solr 1.4.0. Any
pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
