Thanks. So the issue here is I already have a <uniqueKey>doctorId<uniquekey> defined in my schema.xml.
If along with that I also want the <id></id> field to be automatically generated for each document do I have to declare it as a <uniquekey> as well , because I just tried the following setting without the uniqueKey for id and its only generating blank ids for me. *schema.xml* <field name="id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" /> *solrconfig.xml* <updateRequestProcessorChain name="uuid"> <processor class="solr.UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory"> <str name="fieldName">id</str> </processor> <processor class="solr.RunUpdateProcessorFactory" /> </updateRequestProcessorChain> On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 7:47 PM, Garth Grimm < garthgr...@averyranchconsulting.com> wrote: > Looking a little deeper, I did find this about UUIDField > > > http://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_9_0/solr-core/org/apache/solr/schema/UUIDField.html > > "NOTE: Configuring a UUIDField instance with a default value of "NEW" is > not advisable for most users when using SolrCloud (and not possible if the > UUID value is configured as the unique key field) since the result will be > that each replica of each document will get a unique UUID value.
