Solr is not an XML engine (or a MARC engine). It uses XML as an input format
for fielded data. It does not index or search arbitrary XML. You need to
convert your XML into Solr's format.

I would recommend expressing MARC in a Solr schema, then working on the
input XML. The input XML depends on the schema.

If you need an XML engine, I'd recommend MarkLogic (commercial), a very
good product.
