bulkRequest.add(client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet", "8")  
.setSource(XContentFactory.jsonBuilder()  
.startObject()  
.field("user", "tom")  
.field("postDate", new Date())  
.field("message", "score")  
.endObject()));

SolrInputDocument solrDoc = new SolrInputDocument();  
[//solrDoc.setDocumentBoost](https://solrDoc.setDocumentBoost)(documentBoost);

Document level boost used to be supported via the `_boost` field, but has been deprecated. Here's an explanation why and a way to archive the desired effect using a `function_score` query: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/mapping-boost-field.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/mapping-boost-field.html)
