Ok got it. I am indexing two tables differently. I am using Solrj to index with @Field annotation. I make two queries initially and fetch the data from two tables and index them separately. But what if the ids in two tables are same? That means documents with same id will be deleted when doing update.
How does this work? Please explain. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Aleksander M.

You need a unique id because the add method works as and "add or update" method. When adding a document whose ID is already found in the index, the old document will be deleted and the new will be added. Are you indexing two tables into the same index? Or does one entry in the index consist of data from both tables? How are these linked together without an ID? - Aleksander On Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:42:00 +0100, Raghunandan Rao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Is the uniqueKey in schema.xml really required? > > > Reason is, I am indexing two tables and I have id as unique key in > schema.xml but id field is not there in one of the tables and indexing > fails.
