@Gora Thank You! I know that Solr accepts xml with Solr specific elements that are commands that only it understands ... such as <add/>, <commit/> etc.
Question: Is there some way to ask Solr to dump out whatever it has in its index already ... as a Solr xml document? Plan: I intend to message that xml dump (add the field + value that I need in every doc's xml element) and then I should be able to push this dump back to Solr to get data indexed again, I hope.
