The current readme file on solr-ruby's repository is outdated. If you
follow the example provided Solr will throw an exception (SEVERE:
org.apache.solr.core.SolrException: ERROR:unknown field 'title_text')
because its trying to insert an unknown field type:
# add a document to the index
conn.add(:id => 123, :title_text => 'Lucene in Action')
which should be (as described on the wiki)
# add a document to the index
conn.add(:id => 123, :title_t => 'Lucene in Action')
