Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

There isn't a built in way to do this using Solr. I wouldn't recommend running a full or delta import when just updating one row in a table. What most Solr deployments do with a database is update the corresponding document when updating a row. This will be application specific, but this is the most efficient and standard way of dealing with this issue.

Using full or delta imports would be something that would run nightly or every few hours typically.

Answer 2

So, basically you want to process document before adding in solr.

This can be achieved by adding new update processor in update process chain you can go through : Solr split joined dates to multivalue field .
Here they split data in a field and saved it as multi valued field
