Just use a string. Any ol' string that suits your domain will do.
Just be sure the field type is untokenized (the "string" type in the
example configuration will do).

I read somewhere that a good approach is to add a 'type' field to
the data and then use a filter query. What data type would you use
for the type field? I could just an integer but then we have to
remember that 1=user, 2=item, and so on. In mysql there's an enum
type where you use text labels that are mapped to integers behind
the scenes (good performance and user friendly). Is there something
similar in solr or should I just use a string?
