It is the most voted/watched issue in the list along with SOLR-284 (which we now have in the form of ExtractingRequestHandler aka Solr Cell) and I'd really like to have this feature in Solr. Unfortunately, I'm not very familar with the patch(es) and the discussion and I don't have the bandwidth to work through it right now. But, seeing that at least three committers (Yonik, Ryan and Otis) have been involved at different times, if someone is willing to work through the hoops, I'm sure folks would be willing to shepherd it along. Looking at the current state of things, I'm not sure how much time it would take. Typically, we like to have big features such as this, sit in the trunk for a while so that user reported bugs are ironed out before a release. It may not be wise to wait that long for a release, since we already have a lot of major un-released features in trunk. -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
