Hi Sascha, Thanks for your reply. Our approach is similar to what you have mentioned in the jira issue except that we have all metadata in the xml and not in the database. I am therefore using a custom XmlUpdateRequestHandler to parse the XML and then calling Tika from within the XML Loader to parse the content. Until now this seems to work. When and in which Solr version do you expect the jira issue to be addressed?
