[support] Index reset for a multi-value field in SOLR

[Kamal Palei]

This issue is resolved.  The trick is, use setField function , and as
argument pass key and an array containing multiple values. That way
previous old values are deleted and new values takes effect (by default it
is 2 minutes to take effect).

If one uses addField function, you will never be able to delete the old
value, hence wrong data in index.

Thanks
