Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-308:
------------------------------------

If I'm following correct, this is a FieldType that generates a UUID regardless 
of the input value:

        public Field createField(SchemaField field, String externalVal, float 
boost) {
                // We ignore the external value and have our own
                return super.createField(field, UUID.randomUUID().toString(), 
boost);
        }

What is a use case for that? 

If you are looking for something like the sql auto increment, it might be a 
good candidate for the new fangled 'UpdateRequestProcessor' -- this could check 
if the input document has a uniqueKey - if not, add one and add the new value 
to the response.
