Why would you store the actual images in SOLR? There is no way to really search the bytes of image, is there? What you probably want to do is extract all searchable metadata out of that image, name, alt, EXIF, etc.
And you are most likely looking at dynamic fields as the solution 1) Define *_Path, *_Size, *_Alt as a dynamic field with appropriate types 2) During indexing, write those properties as Image_1_Path, Image_1_Size, Image_1_Alt or some such 3) Make sure that whatever search algorithm you have looks at those or do a copyField to aggregate them into AllImage_Alt, etc. I do something similar by extracting metadata from .DOC files with Tika and indexing it all regardless of the actual names.
