This is how I import a lot of data from a cvs file. There are close to 100k records in there. Note that you can either pre-define the column names using the fieldnames param like I did here *or* include header=true which will automatically pick up the column header if your file has it.
curl " http://localhost:8983/solr/update/csv?commit=true&separator=%2C&fieldnames=id,name,asciiname,lat,lng,countrycode,population,elevation,gtopo30,timezone,modificationdate,cat&stream.file=C :\tmp\cities1000.csv&overwrite=true&stream.contentType=text/plain;charset=utf-8" This seems to load everything in to some kind of temporary location before it's actually committed. If something goes wrong there is a rollback feature that will undo anything that happened before the commit. As far as batching a bunch of files, I copied and pasted the following in to Cygwin and it worked just fine. curl "
