Thanks all. This workaround was very helpful for my case.
However, it would be wonderful if there was a way to make Solr have a
copy of my classification so that I need not create a big string at the
client side everytime I need to index a document. I am sure there are
many others out there who do the following on the client side burdening
their already overburdened client servers:
Here's something I would love to see on Solr if possible:
1. A way to send my classification to Solr.
a. The classification has nodes which have their own fields (and
default values)
b. Images or static files of such sort associated with the nodes
2. Update the classification everytime I want to change it.
During indexing of documents:
1. Give the name of the node my document belongs to, say a special field
named, <classificationNode>. Solr would index the document just as any
other document or do some optimized indexing to return results faster.
During Search:
1. Solr matches my query with and checks if any of the documents being
returned are classified.
2. If a classified document is found, return all the documents which are
classified with the child nodes (as well as with the document's node -
this can be optional)
I feel taxonomy support would be a welcome feature in Solr. What do the
developers say?

I use this workaround all the time.
When I need to put the hierarchy which a product belongs, I simply
arranje all the nodes as: "a ^ b ^ c ^ d"
