Andy,
I use an approach similar to yours. There may be something better, however. You might
be able to write an "onImportEnd" listener to tell you when it ends.
See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#EventListeners for a little
documentation
See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-938 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1081 for the background on this
feature.
If you do end up using this let us know how it works and if there is anything
you could see to improve it.
I think it would be a good idea to provide a SolrJ API out of the box
(similar to CoreAdminRequest) for gathering the status URL from Solr and
obtaining the following information:
1) Determining import status
-a) never started (idle)
-b) finished successful (idle)
-c) finished with error, canceled, etc. (idle)
-d) in progress. (busy)
2) Determining how many documents have been added.
3) Determining how long the import took or has taken so far.
4) Any other commonly gathered information.
There may be some reluctance to do this simply because DIH is a contrib
module. Perhaps there could be a contrib module for SolrJ?
Thanks,
Shawn
