Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-9528:
------------------------------------

docid() as a value source is a good idea... as you say, makes it clearer that 
it's a computed value.
That works for many contexts, except perhaps Alex's original usecase: fetch me 
the document that corresponds to a specific \_docid\_ .
One could use something like frange(l=123456789,u=123456789)docid() but that's 
pretty clunky

> Make _docid_ (lucene id) a pseudo field

> Lucene document id is a transitory id that cannot be relied on as it can 
> change on document updates, etc.
> However, there are circumstances where it could be useful to use it in a 
> search. The primarily use is a debugging where some error messages provide 
> only lucene document id as the reference. For example:
> {noformat}
> child query must only match non-parent docs, but parent docID=38200 matched 
> childScorer=class org.apache.lucene.search.DisjunctionSumScorer
> {noformat}
> We already expose the lucene id with \[docid] transformer with \_docid_ 
> sorting.
> On the email list, [~yo...@apache.org] proposed that _docid_ should be a 
> legitimate pseudo-field, which would make it returnable, usable in function 
> queries, etc.
