Hi Chetan, I think that currently the complete binary is sent and the on the Solr side you have the ability to choose which field to use for indexing and searching properties of Binary type via the OakSolrConfiguration#getFieldNameFor(Type<?> propertyType) [1] method.
Currently the default configuration and implementation use a Solr binary dynamic field of type so that a binary property called propname is indexed in a Solr field called propname_bin of type BinaryField [2], however my plan for it is to implement some dedicated analyzers that use Apache Tika to extract the text and index that instead (or too).
