I have an idea. I believe I can discover the Properties of an object (C# reflection) and then code gen schema.xml file based on the field type and other meta data of that type (possibly from database). After that, I should be able to ftp the files over to the solr machine. Then I can invoke core admin to create the new index on the fly. My original question would be, is there a tool that already does what I'm describing?
