SolrJ vs. plain old HTTP post
Hi Everyone,
If all that I need to do is send data to Solr to add / delete a Solr
document, which tool is better for the job: SolrJ or plain old HTTP post?
In other word, what are the advantages of using SolrJ when the need is to
push data to Solr for indexing?
Thanks,
Steve

Yes, SolrJ can work with SSL enabled on the server as long as you pass the
same JVM parameters on the client side to enable SSL e.g.
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=

Thanks Erik and Emir.
Erik: The fact that SolrJ is aware of SolrCloud is enough to put it over
plain old HTTP post.
Emir: I looked into Solr's data import handler, unfortunately, it won't
work for my need.
To close the loop on this question, I will need to enable Jetty's SSL (the
jetty that comes with Solr 5.1). If I do so, will SolrJ still work, can I
assume that SolrJ supports SSL?
I Google'ed but cannot find the answer.
Thanks again.
Steve

Another advantage to SolrJ is with SolrCloud (ZK) awareness, and taking advantage of some routing optimizations client-side so the cluster has less hops to make.

Hi Steve,
Main advantage is that it uses binary format so XML/JSON overhead is
avoided.
You should also check out if SOLR's Data Import Handler is good fit for you.
Thanks,
Emir
