Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-7085:
--------------------------------------
Blast, forgot to put the JIRA number in the SVN commit for trunk.
trunk revision: 1661427
> Add a comment to the schema.xml file(s) warning against applying analysis
> chains to the <uniqueKey> field.

> Key: SOLR-7085
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7085
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Erick Erickson
> Assignee: Erick Erickson
> Priority: Minor
>
> If you apply index-time transformations to the <uniqueKey> field, very
> interesting things happen, all of them bad.
> 1> the doc doesn't get updated
> 2> Docs are routed to shards based on the original form of the ID field.
> I stopped looking there. There are much bigger fish to fry than trying to
> apply an index-time analysis chain to the <uniqueKey> so a comment in the
> schema.xml seems all that is necessary.
> Trying to change this at a code level would be a nightmare I suspect.
> Consider routing by a secondary field for instance and N+1 other places this
> would pop out.
> Limited _query_ time transformations are OK, they just have to match the
> indexing program's transformations, about the only one I'd recommend is
> lowercasing, but others are possible if you're brave as long as they match
> the indexing program's transformations.
> My "rule of thumb" I was trying to apply here is that "anything a human
> enters in your search app should not be a case-sensitive when searching" and
> it can be enforced easily enough.
