Apache Solr Reference Guide Covering Apache Solr 6.0

The bin/post script currently delegates to a standalone Java program called SimplePostTool. This tool,
bundled into a executable JAR, can be run directly using java -jar example/exampledocs/post.jar.
See the help output and take it from there to post files, recurse a website or file system folder, or send direct
commands to a Solr server.
$ java -jar example/exampledocs/post.jar -h
SimplePostTool version 5.0.0
Usage: java [SystemProperties] -jar post.jar [-h|-] [

Uploading Data with Index Handlers
Index Handlers are Request Handlers designed to add, delete and update documents to the index. In addition to
having plugins for importing rich documents using Tika or from structured data sources using the Data Import
Handler, Solr natively supports indexing structured documents in XML, CSV and JSON.
The recommended way to configure and use request handlers is with path based names that map to paths in the
request url. However, request handlers can also be specified with the qt (query type) parameter if the request
Dispatcher is appropriately configured. It is possible to access the same handler using more than one name,
which can be useful if you wish to specify different sets of default options.
A single unified update request handler supports XML, CSV, JSON, and javabin update requests, delegating to
the appropriate ContentStreamLoader based on the Content-Type of the ContentStream.
