Convert the Excel file to a CSV and then write a teeny script to go
through it line by line and submit to Solr over HTTP? Tika would
probably work but it's a lot of heavy lifting for what seems to me like
a simple problem.

Hi Guys - can anyone suggest how to achieve this?
I have understood how to insert json documents. So one alternative that
comes to my mind is that I can convert the rows in my excel to json format
with the header of my excel file becoming the json keys (corresponding to
the fields I have defined in my managed-schema.xml). And then each cell in
the excel file will become the value of this field.
However, I am sure there must be a better way and directly ingesting the
excel file to achieve the same. I was trying to reach about DIH and Apache
Tika, but I am not very sure of how the configuration works.
My sample excel file has 4 columns namely -
1. First Name
2. Last Name
3. Phone
4. Website Link
I want to index these fields into SOLR in a way that all these columns
become my solr schema fields and later I can search based on these fields.
Any suggestions please.
thanks !
