Ishan Chattopadhyaya commented on SOLR-11868: --------------------------------------------- {quote}[~dsmiley] I don't think I want to go there (remove <uniqueKey> and only allow "id"). If we'd required that at the start it'd be one thing, but at this point there are a lot of installations out there that use something different. It just feels like too much difficulty for not enough gain. {quote} +1 > Deprecate CloudSolrClient.setIdField, use information from Zookeeper > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-11868 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11868 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 7.2 > Reporter: Erick Erickson > Assignee: Erick Erickson > Priority: Major > Fix For: 8.7 > > > IIUC idField has nothing to do with the <uniqueKey> field.

Need to beef up tests too I suspect. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@lucene.apache.org
