Nutch provides plugins enabling it to read proprietary formats.
Is there support for the same functionality in solr?
No. Solr is strictly a search server that takes plain text for the
fields of documents added to it. The client is responsible parsing
the text out of these types of documents. You could borrow the
document parsing pieces from Lucene's contrib and Nutch and glue them
together into your client that speaks to Solr, or perhaps Solr isn't
the right approach for your needs? It certainly is possible to add
these capabilities into Solr, but it would be awkward to have to
stream binary data into XML documents such that Solr could parse them
on the server side.
