OK, so this is much more difficult than I first imagined. I have managed to get it to accept custom metadata using the "literal.fieldname=value" parameters as described here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler but if I try to use a field name that matches a field returned by Tika, for example, "Title" Solr throws an error that I am trying to provide multiple values for a field that is not multiValue. Its trying to use both the Title returned by Tika and the Title I am providing. I even tried mapping the field from Tika to another field using the fmap parameters and it still doesn't like it. I will have to rethink this.

Ouch. I'll take a peek as soon as I can.

Looks like this is a Solr issue that I can't do anything about in this library...

Hmm, that may cause some issues, but I'm sure we can find a workaround. Thanks for looking into it.

The workaround is don't name your fields in your schema with common names... or prefix them.

"myTitle" instead of "title", etc.
