Solr doesn't currently require a unique key field in the schema, and if there isn't one, then it's OK to send docs without one.
It seems like not much works properly if one is not specified - maybe it should be an explicit requirement.
Well, overwriting documents doesn't work, but everything else should. I've seen a case where the users had no unique key and did rebuilds from scratch all the time (not that I think it's a good idea). It probably would simplify some logic to assume unique keys are required, but we should think a little on it first. Would it make it harder to model existing random lucene indicies? -Yonik
