You can do a custom transformer in DIH which will do a default value. If you do, it could be a good one to contribute.
Otherwise, you can have two different DIH handlers defined in solrconfig.xml with different UpdateRequestProcessor chains and use http://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_0_0/solr-core/org/apache/solr/update/processor/DefaultValueUpdateProcessorFactory.html . There is always more than one interceptor option in Solr. :-) Regards, Alex.
