I've been thinking that Solr could benefit from "auto-valued" fields,
such as a datestamp. This would be a field defined in the schema,
but its value comes from the Solr server itself rather than the
client POSTing documents. The client wouldn't post such a value at
all (it'd be an error if it did, perhaps, or it could override the
automatic value?).
Does this make sense as a feature request to the Solr server?
I could envision there being some other auto-valued fields computed
on the server perhaps... like IP address of the request, username
(when security eventually gets added), and so on.
Thoughts?
