I have two sources/servers--one of them is Magento. Since Magento has a more or less out of the box integration with Solr, my thought was to run Solr server from the Magento instance and then use DIH to get/merge content from the other source/server. Seem feasible/appropriate? I spec'd it out and it seems to make sense...
