This may be a feature request, I'm not sure.
I'd like to take gobs and gobs of data and dump it onto a filesystem or separtate MySQL DB, but not necessarily import it as nodes in Drupal. However I'd like the ApahceSolr module to pick up on this data, i.e. I'd like my separate Solr installation to have indexed it and made those search results available back through the Drupal search results page.
Does anyone have suggestions as to how I might colocate this data, and/or create new indexes in Solr for Drupal to see?
I'm thinking something in the order of tens of millions of database entries and a few hundred thousand documents in a file system, all indexed by Lucene. So if I search for "Joe Blow" in my Drupal ApacheSolr search box, I can find Joe simultaneously in nodes, external DB's, external files and perhaps even other people's Web content I might have NUTCHed.
Pointers, anyone? Thanks...

I am looking to do the exact same thing, have a filesystem search as well as the drupal DB search. I am researching how Solr indexes files, so maybe I can figure it out.. dunno, if you do, please help, and I will do the same.

Solr includes the DIH (data import handler) and can take SQL data supposedly, but you'd have to tweak the handling of the search module possibly to render out the right paths.
