[support] Apache solr integration - Adding new fields during indexing of a node/document

[Earnie Boyd]

If it were me I would add fields to the user entity assuming your
submitters need to register.  If no registration, I would add fields
to the node entity.  You can then use those fields to filter the data.
 The other option is to use three taxonomy types and allow the data to
be tags.
