Solr: Insert Document

In this article, lets discuss about inserting document in Solr collection.

As a DBA maintaining Solr environment, you might not be asked to insert document into the Solr collection. You can 100% be sure it is the responsibility of the developer who design an ETL or micorservices or any other methods to push documents into the Solr collection.
