It should not be required as the documentation says it is only needed for 
real-time GET which Riak Search (Yokozuna) disables since Riak KV provides the 
get/put implementation.

RS does not make use of SolrCloud at all.  It uses Solr’s Distributed Search 
but that is something that existed well before SolrCloud.  All routing and 
replica administration is handled by Riak.  Each Solr instance (one per node) 
has no awareness of the other nodes except for the explicit distributed queries 
sent by Riak.

It doesn’t use Solr’s optimistic locking at all.  All key-value semantics come 
from Riak itself.  RS simply indexes an object’s values.

Yes, I wrote that TODO.  It is one of many that founds its way into 2.0.0 :).  
You should run fine without this field if you create a custom schema.

Just to reiterate what I said above, RS disables the transaction logging and 
thus there is no real time get.  There is no reason for it since that is what 
Riak itself provides.
