Hi,

I took a quick look at solrj.  One thing I didn't find is a way to  
add documents to an existing index without overwriting the index.   
I looked at the sources and the unit tests, but didn't spot the  
"append modus operandi".  Ryan, or somebody, where should I look?



I may be misunderstanding, but I use solrj on an existing index all  
the time. I just

    solr = new CommonsHttpSolrServer(new URL(url));

and then

    SimpleSolrDoc solrDoc = new SimpleSolrDoc();
    solrDoc.addField(field.name(), field.stringValue());
    solr.add(solrDoc);


The indexes in question were created by 'normal solr' and don't get  
overwritten.
