Description

updateprocessorChain follows a non-standard syntax in solr . Usually, all the components are initialized as top level components and they are assembled and used using a NamedList syntax .for example search components.

I propose to change it as follows

 <updateRequestProcessorChain name="custom" class="solr.UpdateRequestProcessorChain"> 
  <arr name="chain">
      <str>custom</str>
      <str>runUpdate</str>
      <str>log</str>
  </arr>
</updateRequestProcessorChain>
<updateProcessor name="custom" class="solr.CustomUpdateRequestProcessorFactory" >
   <lst name="name">
     <str name="n1">x1</str>
     <str name="n2">x2</str>
   </lst>
</updateProcessor>                                    
<updateProcessor name="runUpdate" class="solr.RunUpdateProcessorFactory" />                    
<updateProcessor name="log" class="solr.LogUpdateProcessorFactory" />   

The wiki documentation says this was supposed to be reviewed. If possible we should clean it up in 1.4 itself. We can support the old syntax too
