I've been thinking that Solr could benefit from "auto-valued" fields,
such as a datestamp. This would be a field defined in the schema,
but its value comes from the Solr server itself rather than the
client POSTing documents. The client wouldn't post such a value at
all (it'd be an error if it did, perhaps, or it could override the
automatic value?).
Does this make sense as a feature request to the Solr server?
Definitely... I had previously thought about auto-incrementing fields
(for documents without a natural uniqueKey)... but to be useful, that
id may need to be returned in the response.
A server-set date field both makes sense *and* is easy to implement.
And then there's the auto-generated unique ID value that I'd like :)
Yeah... that's what what I meant by auto-incrementing fields.
What I use is a PRNG, to mix up the IDs, but I guess that's a form of
an auto-incrementing field.
For that to be useful, the generated id would need to be returnd in
the response to the add, right?
Yes.
