Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-284:
--------------------------------------
bq. Hmmm ... that means that if i have a schema with a uniqueKey field, and i
forget to specify a uniqueKey value when indexing my document, the handler will
"silently succeed" in adding a document with a key i have no control over
instead of failing in a way that will make me aware of my mistake - and i have
no way of configuring solr to prevent that kind of "silent success"
Actually, there is a mechanism for avoiding it, and it is documented on in
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler#head-6cda7b8832bb2ccaf6b0b57a6ef524b553db489e
I could, however, see adding a flag to specify whether one wants "silent
success" or not. I think the use case for content extraction is different than
the normal XML message path. Often times, these files are quite large and the
cost of sending them to the system is significant.
Another thing that might be interesting to do is to actually return in the the
response the generated id.
