Thanks for your response. But it seems like there should be a way to issue the equivalent of
http://localhost:8983/solr/schema/version which returns { "responseHeader":{ "status":0, "QTime":4}, "version":1.5} from the server. I know how to do it using HTTPGet in Android, but I can't use that in my desktop app because sometimes I'm connected to a local set of files using an embedded SolrJ server. It seems silly to write a bunch of code to parse the files myself when Solr already does it so well. There does not seem to be a request handler to use to issue such a call nor a direct API. Has anyone ever gotten this information from the server using SolrJ?
