Thank you for your replay.
We would like to have this functionality in order to change unique key to do a
partial update.Partial update cannot work without a unique key and our need is
to do like in SQL (update documents set documents.field1=wyz where
documents.field2 = xxx). So we put field2 as unique key (uniqueness is OK) and
do this kind of update.

Steve Rowe has been working on it, as he mentioned. I have asked him a
question via the SOLR-7242 issue.
I can think of two reasons that this functionality has NOT been written yet:
1) In Cloud mode on a distributed index, it is unlikely that the
existing collection will have the documents in the correct shards.
Entirely reindexing is strongly recommended in these situations.
2) Before changing the uniqueKey, you must be absolutely certain that
the field is the appropriate type and that the field does not contain
the same value more than once. If this is not the case, Solr will not
behave correctly.
Thanks,
Shawn
