In order to allow users to retrieve the documents that match a query, I
make use of the embedded Jetty container to provide file server

the actual document archive, and the Jetty file server. This seems
somewhat of a kludge, and I'm wondering if others have a better way to
retrieve the desired documents? (I'm not too concerned about security
because I use ssh port forwarding to connect to remote authenticated
clients.)
This is not a recommended usage for the servlet container where Solr runs.
Solr is a search engine. It is not designed to be a data store,
although some people do use it that way.
If systems running Solr clients want to access all the information for a
document when the search results do not contain all the information,
they should use what IS in the search results to access that data from
the system where it is stored -- that could be a database, a file
server, a webserver, or similar.
