I would like to be able to use the Lucene Benchmark code with Solr to run some indexing tests.  It would be nice if Lucene Benchmark to could read Solr configuration rather than having to translate my filter chain and other parameters into Lucene.   Would it be appropriate to open a JIRA issue for this or is this something that doesn't really make any sense?

I think it makes great sense, we moved the benchmarking facility to a
toplevel module so we can do this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2845, but we didn't
actually add any integration yet.

I've been in this exact same situation too when trying to use the
benchmark package, and I'd sure like to see better solr integration
with the benchmarking package myself.

FWIW, I've re-used the DocMaker stuff quite successfully in other projects and to send in docs into Solr (for instance, it's handy for indexing Wikipedia).

I'll see if I can dig up anything useful there, although my recollection was that it was a simple one-off that just used SolrJ to send it in.

Thanks Robert and Grant,

Does this need a separate JIRA issue dealing specifically with the ability of benchmark to read Solr config settings, or is it subsumed in LUCENE-2845? or should I just add a comment to LUCENE-2845?

I think full integration with Solr might be a lot of work? So i would
start with opening an issue to address your particular itch (e.g.
benchmarking a Analyzer thats instantiated from a solr schema).
