I want to store java objects as part of the Solr document.
They don’t need to be parsed or searched, only be returned as part of the document.
I can convert them to json or XML and store the text but I prefer something more efficient.
If I could use Java serialization and then add the binary blob to the document it could be ideal.
I’m aware of the option to convert the binary blob with base64 but I was wondering if there is a more efficient way.

    I do not share the opinions of the first two answers.

    An additional database call can in some scenarios be completely unnecessary, Solr can act as a NoSQL database, too.

    It can even use compression for some fields, which affects CPU cost, but saves some cache memory for some kind of binary data.

    Take a look at BinaryField and the lazy loading field declarations within your schema.xml.
