> Apparently, once upon a time, as a way to prove that it worked and there were 
> no hard coded "String" assumptions, some the {{schema.xml}} used by tests was 
> written such that the uniqueKey field was definied as an "int".
> This has now snowballed such that there are at least 40 test schema files 
> (just in solr/core!) that define the uniqueKey field using a Trie field 
> (mostly TrieInt, but at least 2 TrieFloats!) despite the fact that at no 
> point have we ever recommended/encouraged people to use anything other then 
> StrField for their uniqueKey.
> that's nearly 1/3 of all the test schemas that we have -- which IIRC (from 
> some early experiments in SOLR-10807) are used in more then half the 
> solr/core tests.
> If we want to be able to deprecate/remove Trie fields in favor of point 
> fields, we're really going to update all of these test schemas to use a 
> StrField (we can't use PointFields as the uniqueKey due to the issues noted 
> in SOLR-10829) ... but AFAICT that's going to require a non trivial amount of 
> work due to many of these tests making explicit/implicit assumptions about 
> the datatype of the uniqueKey field (ex: sorting by id, range queries on ids, 
> casting stored field values returned by solrj, xpath expressions, etc...)
