I have two questions about using uuid: In Solr refs, it is stated that the unique id could be of uuid type. I found we can generate uuid when the doc id with uuid field type is null or we it is generated by using doc.addField("id", UUID.randomUUID().toString()) in solrj.
1- Suppose my unique id type is string. Can I generate a uuid value from my unique id string and insert it as a distinct uuid field in Solr? 1- Suppose my unique id type is uuid. If I try to insert a random string which is not in uuid format, I get the "invalid uuid" error. Is there anyway to generate a correct uuid value in solr GUI similar to what solrj UUID.randomUUID().toString() generates?
