Thanks for the reply

i checked the solr version and we do use exact version
4.0.0.2012.10.06.03.04.33

and also i have posted my solconfig.xml file snippet, and your assumption
was correct, it did used XmlUpdateRequestHandler.

<requestHandler name="/update" class="solr.XmlUpdateRequestHandler" /> 

Do you know whats the correct way to provide xml in order to do partial
update.

This wiki here suggested me to do partial updating, which is not working for
me

What version of solr are you using? partial doc updates is only supported 
in Solr 4.0.

As for your earlier mentioned problem...

: curl 'myhostname:8080/solr/update?commit=true' -H
: 'Content-type:application/json' -d
: '[{"id":"contentId#63481697","price":{"set":16595}}]'
:
: i am getting this error

: name="QTime">0</int></lst><lst name="error"><str name="msg">Unexpected
: character '[' (code 91) in prolog; expected '&lt;'
:  at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1]</str><int 
name="code">400</int></lst>
: </response>

...knowing your solr version and solrconfig.xml configuration for the 
"/update" handler is also important here ... according to that error, it 
looks like you are using the "solr.XmlUpdateRequestHandler" which requires 
XML input (as opposed to the "solr.UpdateRequestHandler" new in SOlr 4.0 
which looks at the COntent-Type to select the input format)
