Can't comment yet.
Please post a snippet of your JSON file so we can comment.
Also, in these cases, Solr log files are your best friend, they will tell you exactly what it doesn't like about the data you are posting.
Also, you don't have to specify the host if you are sending to localhost, it is the default.
EDIT: Your JSON doesn't look correct. What do you expect it to do with stuff like:
"timestamp" : { "$date" : 1400825267792 }
First of, if you need timestamp is solr to be a date/time field it needs to be in UTC format. Second, Solr doesn't support nested elements.
Finally, if you are posting multiple documents via json, the format needs to look like this:
[ {"id":"doc1","field2":"val2"} , {"id":"doc2","field2":"val3"} ]
Note that all documents are enclosed in square brackets and separated by a comma.
