Noble Paul commented on SOLR-7188:
----------------------------------

With the schema API in place we can really get the schema information through a 
REST API.

> Run Data Import Handler processes in a SolrJ client

> Adds a DataImportHandlerClient class that wraps an EmbeddedSolrServer and 
> adds a DIHCloudWriter implementation of DIHWriter that sends documents to a 
> remote SolrCloud cluster.  This enables existing DIH processes to run outside 
> of the Solr JVM which should enable better scalability.
> The current architecture of DIH imposes several restrictions on scalability. 
> First, the DIH runs in the same process space as Solr itself and competes for 
> resources (CPU and memory) with normal Solr processes devoted to indexing and 
> querying. Second, the DIH cannot be multi-threaded which means that 
> parallelizing it requires splitting the processing amongst nodes in a 
> SolrCloud cluster. Since the incoming data is sent through an 
> UpdateRequestProcessor chain (via the SolrWriter implementation of 
> DIHWriter), additional routing is done internally as the documents are 
> forwarded to the current shard leader nodes once the ID hash is computed. 
> This causes additional network traffic within the SolrCloud cluster. Scaling 
> the DIH is limited by the number of nodes in the cluster and any heavy-duty 
> processing due to entity processors or transformation elements shares the 
> processing resources of Solr itself. This is known to be a source of 
> bottlenecks in Solr installations (SolrCloud or Master-Slave) that use DIH.
> The DataImportHandlerClient uses native DIH functionality - DataImporter, 
> etc. but can be run externally to Solr. This means that as many processes as 
> are needed to achieve necessary performance at scale can be added and the 
> processing that occurs within the DataImportHandler is done outside of the 
> Solr JVM. The same benefits that accrue with multiple SolrJ clients can now 
> be realized with DIH without the necessity of porting code from DIH to a 
> SolrJ client.
