Hi, We have built a data import tool which can read from Databases and add them to Solr. We found that making content available for full text search and faceted search was a common use case and usually everyone ends up writing a custom ETL based tool for this task. Therefore we're contributing this back to the Solr project.
Please look at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-469 for details. A user guide is provided at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler I realize that having such a tool for lucene would also be helpful for a large audience. However, currently we're more focused on Solr since we don't use lucene directly in our own production environments.
