Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-5211:
------------------------------------

bq. Or maybe your comment is how do we handle an existing index before this 
rule existed?

More as an alternative direction that would not require the rule (that every 
document have root), only those with children (as is done today).
We constantly get dinged on usability because of things that require static 
configuration, and this is yet another (that would require reindexing even)


> updating parent as childless makes old children orphans

> if I have parent with children in the index, I can send update omitting 
> children. as a result old children become orphaned. 
> I suppose separate \_root_ fields makes much trouble. I propose to extend 
> notion of uniqueKey, and let it spans across blocks that makes updates 
> unambiguous.  
> WDYT? Do you like to see a test proves this issue?
