I guess another way to pose the question is- what could cause <uniqueKey>id</uniqueKey> to no longer be respected?
The last chance I made since I noticed the problem of non-unique docs was by changing field "title" from "string" to "SplitUpStuff". But I dont understand how that could affect the uniqueness of a different field called "id". <fieldType name="splitUpStuff" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="0" c <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="false" /> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EnglishPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> In order to make even a guess, we'd have to see your new field type. Particularly its field definitions and the analysis chain...
