One option for a custom similarity is to have it implement the NamedListInitializedPlugin interface. Solr would have to be modified to check for that interface for similarity. But it's probably more practical to just create a subclass of your Similarity that hard-codes the values, and then refer to that in the schema.xml (since there is only going to be one Similarity in the system). -Yonik
