There is an internal document id in Lucene indexes - an integer starting at zero. Since it's transient (can change with segment mergers and is thus only really valid for the duration of an IndexReader), Solr tends to hide those. The uniqueKey has no bearing on what the internal Lucene docid is. -Yonik
