Can someone explain a useful case for the RandomSortField?
<!-- The "RandomSortField" is not used to store or search any
data. You can declare fields of this type it in your schema
to generate pseudo-random orderings of your docs for sorting
purposes. The ordering is generated based on the field name
and the version of the index, As long as the index version
remains unchanged, and the same field name is reused,
the ordering of the docs will be consistent.
If you want different psuedo-random orderings of documents,
for the same version of the index, use a dynamicField and
change the name
-->
<fieldType name="random" class="solr.RandomSortField" indexed="true" />
