Missleading error message when uniqueKey is field is missing
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-1695
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1695
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Hoss Man
            Priority: Minor


Sometimes users don't seem to notice/understand the <uniqueKey/> declaration in 
the example schema, and the error message they get if their documents don't 
include that field is confusing...

{code}
org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Document [null] missing required field: id
{code}

...because they get an almost identical error even if they remove 
{{required=true}} from {{<field name="id" />}} in their schema.xml file.

We should improve the error message so it's clear when a Document is missing 
the "uniqueKeyField" (not just a "required" field) so they know the terminology 
to look for in diagnosing the problem.
