SCHEDULING in OS terminology, is, when you specify cron jobs on linux/unix machines (and scheduled tasks in windows machines). What ever task that you schedule along with time/date or interval, it will be automatically invoked, so, you don't have to manually log into the machine and call the script/batch.
SOLR scheduling is also same, but with internal mechanism provided by SOLR to set schedule to automatically invoke; delta-import, full-import, commit, etc. This would help, so, you're not dependent at OS level because for different OS's you have to schedule it differently(cron/scheduled-tasks).
