Ok, did a bit more digging. It looks like if I build a custom ContentStreamLoader I can create a custom AddOrUpdateCommand that is ultimately responsible for building the lucene document. So looks like if I build a custom UpdateRequestHandler I can register my custom ContentStreamLoader and I'll be set. Is this the appropriate course of action?
Lastly, I always want to use my custom UpdateRequest when adding data to Solr from SolrJ but I don't see an easy way of doing this. Really what I need is to control the XML generated and being sent to the server and it looks like this is the best way, but I wonder given the inability to plugin a custom request writer (or something similar). Am I barking up the wrong tree?
