Thomas Peuss commented on SOLR-308: ----------------------------------- The use case is the following: * We get catalog data from vendors. * The only unique thing is the catalogid, which is of course the same for all rows in one catalog. * In our webapp we request first only a few fields that are needed for the search result display. * When the customer clicks on a product in the search result he gets a detailed page. To get the info from Solr we need a unique id to read the rest of the fields (50+). This id is generated by this code. So you see we need this id only for reference. We do nothing more with it. Maybe I overlooked something and this can be achieved with existing code. Any hint is welcome. > Add a field that generates an unique id when you have none in your data to > index > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-308 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-308 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Reporter: Thomas Peuss > Priority: Minor > Attachments: GeneratedId.patch > > > This patch adds a field that generates an unique id when you have no unique > id in your data you want to index. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
