Answer 1

If you are using solr 4.7.0 please pay attention to tika-core-xxjar and tika-parser-xxjar files. sunspot_cell_jars gem includes outdated version for both of them (check this page www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/t/tika.htm to find correct version for yours configuration)

Also you can try use updated sunspot_cell gem
