Please check it out and let me know your feedback.

This sink is a great alternative to the ElasticSearchSink.

There are some flume users that have experience with Apache Solr but do not necessarily understand how to get ElasticSearch up and running.

Having a SolrSink as an alternative could be very helpful in creating a user interface for searching through event and log data collected with Flume using Apache Solr.

This sink essentially picks up events from the channel and uses the ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer client from SolrJ to send events in batches as SolrInputDocuments using multipe worker threads The Apache Solr sink picks up batches of events from a channel and serializes them into SolrInputDocument objects that are sent to Apache Solr.

It uses a thread-safe client for Apache Solr (ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer) which buffers all added documents and then transmit them using open HTTP connections.

...

The number of worker threads and the threshold at which the documents are sent to the server and the url where the Solr index is located is configurable.
