I just want to share my recent project. I have successfully sent all our EDI documents to Cassandra 3.7 clusters using Solr 6.3 Data Import JDBC Cassandra connector indexing our documents. Since Cassandra is so fast for writing, compression rate is around 13% and all my documents can be keep in my Cassandra clusters' memory, we are very happy with the result.

If you do want to use DIH, you may benefit from reviewing the DIH-DB example I am currently rewriting in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10312 (may need to change luceneMatchVersion in solrconfig.xml first). CSV, etc, could be useful if you want to keep history of past imports, again useful during development, as you evolve schema. SolrJ may actually be easiest/best for production since you already have Java stack. The choice is yours in the end.
