> Solr does not generate highlights when there is no uniqueId field defined in 
> the schema. I believe the reason for this is that it's very difficult to 
> modify or extend the XmlWriter behavior, which is why highlights reside in 
> their own "section" in the response XML and subsequently need to be "linked" 
> to their respective documents via the uniqueId field.
> Our schema does not define a uniqueId for various reasons but we still need 
> highlights; the solution we came up with was to provide a user-definable 
> "link field," which is the document field whose value resides in the {{<lst 
> name="215">}} elements in the generated output. I will presently attach a 
> patch which adds a "hl.link" query parameter, which takes a field name and 
> uses that as the "link field." If the parameter is not specified the original 
> behavior is used, so backwards compatibility is maintained.
> As an aside, we've found this technique to be useful because our custom 
> handlers add a lot of information to each document, and the way the response 
> writer is implemented makes it nigh impossible to add information to any 
> specific document within the response. I should probably open an issue which 
> calls to reimplement this aspect of Solr.
