As far as I could seen in solrfile there is no meta data extracted at 
all. Only the text extraction service is used to collect the text inside 
the file. It would be great if the complete set of meta data (whatever 
is available for a certain file) would be available for the index.queue 
definitions; perhaps as fields meta_* .

Order of precedence:
- meta data extracted from the file itself
- meta data from DAM / FAL
- meta data set in content element

Think of the nice things you could do with this:
- use author field in certain file types as author of solr document
- display title of a document in the search results instead of the file name
- have facets for image width/height or camera brand
- use last modification date from meta data as last modified timestamp 
instead of information from the file system
