%5C is a backslash. In order for a space to be a literal part of a
query string and not a tokenization point, it must be escaped, and the
character for doing that is a backslash.
I would not have expected this to be added, though. I am in the process
of building a test app to try this. Can you use http://apaste.info to
share more of your solrj code? I should also be on IRC momentarily.
Thanks,
