Derek,
If your algorithm is guaranteed to always provide unique id's then fine. I say
incorrectly in that, after a few years in software development, I have seen
bugs in the most careful code. A bug causing ID collisions could be hard to
track down. Solr can generate unique ID's for you, and
Hi Rick
Myapologies I didnot make myself clearon the value of the fields. There
are numbers.
I used 'ts1', 'sup1' and 'pdt1' for simplicity and for ease of
understanding instead of the actual numbers.
You mentioned this design has the potential for (in error cases)
concatenating id's

Due to the source data structure, I need to concatenate the values of
2 fields ('supplier_id' and 'product_id') to form the unique 'id' of

However there are cases where some documents only have 'supplier_id'
field.
This will result

This will result in some documents with a longer/larger 'id'
