1) I resolved the issues with solrindex. It turned out to be a matter of adding all the nutch schema-specific fields to solr's schema.xml. there was one gotcha which is that the latest solr schema does not have a default fieldtype "text" as in Nutch 1.3/schema.xml; you must use "text_general". A comment for developers is that the use case of copying the nutch schema to overwrite the solr one only works for people who are beginning their indexing with a crawl. More detailed instructions on how to modify solr/schema.xml for nutch would be helpful, or better yet, a script to add the appropriate fields.
2) is there a way to tell Nutch to index everything at a given site? I am crawling a couple of my own sites and it seems rather clumsy just to give Nutch a big "TopN." wouldn't an "all" value be helpful?
