Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-9493:
------------------------------------
I'd go even further and say that a uniqueKey field that exists both inside and
outside Solr is particularly important in the *design* of a Solr index. A
unique identifier that a user can obtain from somewhere else and use to look up
a specific document is extremely useful.
Solr can generate a UUID value, but it's essentially just a random number, and
each value has no connection to the other data in the indexed document at all.
When the generated field is used as uniqueKey, the UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory
code doesn't have a check to make sure that each random value is unique within
the index -- so two documents could end up with the same UUID value, which
would cause the second document to overwrite the first. Because the UUID
represents a VERY large number, the chance of that happening is EXTREMELY
small, but it IS possible.
Solr uses the uniqueKey field to locate a previous version of a document so
that the old one is deleted when you index the same document again. If that
identifier is generated by Solr, then you lose the ability to index documents
and have them automatically replace previous versions.
> uniqueKey generation fails if content POSTed as "application/javabin" and
> uniqueKey field comes as NULL (as opposed to not coming at all).

> ------------------------
> Copying whole description and investigation here as well:
> ------------------------
> [Documentation|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Other+Schema+Elements]
> states:{quote}Schema defaults and copyFields cannot be used to populate the
> uniqueKey field. You can use UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory to have uniqueKey
> values generated automatically.{quote}
> Therefore I have added my uniqueKey field to the schema:{code}<fieldType
> name="uuid" class="solr.UUIDField" indexed="true" />
> ...
> <field name="id" type="uuid" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" />
> ...
> <uniqueKey>id</uniqueKey>{code}Then I have added updateRequestProcessorChain
> to my solrconfig:{code}<updateRequestProcessorChain name="uuid">
> <processor class="solr.UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory">
> <str name="fieldName">id</str>
> </processor>
> <processor class="solr.RunUpdateProcessorFactory" />
> </updateRequestProcessorChain>{code}And made it the default for the
> UpdateRequestHandler:{code}<initParams path="/update/**">
> <lst name="defaults">
> <str name="update.chain">uuid</str>
> </lst>
> </initParams>{code}
> Adding new documents with null/absent id works fine as from web-interface of
> one of the replicas, as when using SOLR in standalone mode (non-cloud) from
> my application. Although when only I'm using SolrCloud and add document from
> my application (using CloudSolrClient from SolrJ) it fails with
> "org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServerException:
> org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrClient$RemoteSolrException:
> Document is missing mandatory uniqueKey field: id"
> All other operations like ping or search for documents work fine in either
> mode (standalone or cloud).
> INVESTIGATION (i.e. more details):
> In standalone mode obviously update request is:{code}POST
> standalone_host:port/solr/collection_name/update?wt=json{code}
> In SOLR cloud mode, when adding document from one replica's web interface,
> update request is (found through inspecting the call made by web interface):
> {code}POST
> replica_host:port/solr/collection_name_shard1_replica_1/update?wt=json{code}
> In both these cases payload is something like:{code}{
> "add": {
> "doc": {
> .....
> },
> "boost": 1.0,
> "overwrite": true,
> "commitWithin": 1000
> }
> }{code}
> In case when CloudSolrClient is used, the following happens (found through
> debugging):
> Using ZK and some logic, URL list of replicas is constructed that looks like
> this:{code}[http://replica_1_host:port/solr/collection_name/,
> http://replica_2_host:port/solr/collection_name/,
> http://replica_3_host:port/solr/collection_name/]{code}
> This code is called:{code}LBHttpSolrClient.Req req = new
> LBHttpSolrClient.Req(request, theUrlList);
> LBHttpSolrClient.Rsp rsp = lbClient.request(req);
> return rsp.getResponse();{code}
> Where the second line fails with the exception.
> If to debug the second line further, it ends up calling HttpClient.execute
> (from HttpSolrClient.executeMethod) for:{code}POST
> http://replica_1_host:port/solr/collection_name/update?wt=javabin&version=2
> HTTP/1.1
> POST
> http://replica_2_host:port/solr/collection_name/update?wt=javabin&version=2
> HTTP/1.1
> POST
> http://replica_3_host:port/solr/collection_name/update?wt=javabin&version=2
> HTTP/1.1{code}
> And the very first request returns 400 Bad Request with replica 1 logging
> "Document is missing mandatory uniqueKey field: id" in the logs.
> The funny thing is that when I execute the same request using POSTMAN (but
> with JSON instead of binary payload), it works! Am I doing something wrong
> here? I assume it's definitely something in the way of how the request is
> made...
> UPDATE:
> I have used local proxy in order to see the difference in these 2 requests
> sent by my application in order to understand what is different there. Looks
> like the only difference is content type. In case of cloud mode the payload
> for POSTing document is sent as "application/javabin" while in standalone
> mode it's sent as "application/xml; charset=UTF-8". Everything else is the
> same. First request results in 400 while second is 200.
