Spinning the discussion into a separate thread. What is the actual business need here (and in the elasticshell project)? Do we want for users to have something good for easy examples? Or do we want some sort of command line REPL tool running against Solr instance that may not even have admin handlers enabled?
For my book, I heavily leveraged post.jar and Admin WebUI, because they were multi-platform and because they were hiding a lot of details not relevant to the task of content indexing (or not explained yet, like commit semantics). The reason I ask is because I was thinking of a demo/play project that builds a web interface to populate Solr collection. It would use the same hooks Solr Admin WebUI uses to find out which fields are configured, what their types and cardinality is, etc. Then, it would automatically generate a submit form with all that information. Following the same logic, it would not be terribly difficult to build an interface with drag-and-drop files that are then sent to Solr (using modern HTML5 techniques). This could even be an extension of the Admin WebUI, though I probably would use Angular/Bootstrap instead of the - equally valid - choices used currently. Regards, Alex.
