That is not 100% true.  I would think RDBMS and XML would be the most common 
importers but the real flexibility is with the TikaEntityProcessor [1] that 
comes w/ DIH ...

http://wiki.apache.org/solr/TikaEntityProcessor

Im pretty sure it would be able to handle any type of serde (in the case of 
Cassandra I believe it is Thrift) on it's own w/ the dep libraries.

I find the TEP to be underutilized sometimes, I think it's because the docs on 
the DIH lack more info on what it can do.
