I don't see anything particularly nested about that document.  Maybe
there's something really obvious about it that I'm somehow not seeing. 
If that's the case, that would be my fault.

What is Solr doing that doesn't meet with your expectations, and what do
you expect it to do?

(This question is still pretty general, but if it starts to get
specific, then specific information like Solr version and other details
may be needed)

Thanks,
