To my knowledge, and I hope someone can correct me if I'm wrong, Lucene
generally has absolutely no concept of a primary key at all, much less
one that's composite.  At its core, Lucene won't complain if you index
the same document twice -- both copies will be present.

Solr (and probably a LOT of user-written Lucene code before that)
introduced the concept of a uniqueKey field.  When a duplicate document
is indexed to Solr, it is Solr that finds/deletes the original, not
Lucene.  I feel quite confident in saying that ES has the same
functionality, though I have not confirmed it.

Thanks,
Shawn
