Hi,
One interesting issue: These countries that span continents - Turkey and
Russia and some of the former USSR Republics.
I arbitrarily assigned them a single continent:
// Note: Turkey is mapped to Asia, and Russia to Europe,
// Azerbaijan to Asia, Armenia to Asia, Cyprus to Asia,
// Georgia to Asia, Kazakhstan to Asia,
I came across the same problem. Not to mention the oversee territories
of France, the Netherlands, ...
(I hope I don't get too much hate mail from the Greeks for considering
Cyprus to be part of Asia, but it is closer.)
I'd rather assign them to both continents. A false positive is (in my
case) better than a miss. My data provides a geo coordinate for each
record which I could use for a clarification when in doubt - but this
might be an other topic.
I suppose continent could be multivalued or maybe a composite string
("eu/as" or "eu+as"), but that has an impact on queries.
But, the scripts also handles multivalued fields (one value at a time),
and nested multivalued fields is not supported.
Thoughts?

You can write a brute force JavaScript script using the StatelessScript
update processor that hard-codes the mapping.
I'll probably do something like this. Unfortunately I have no influence
on the original db itself, so I have fix this in solr.
