Unless there's a regression in the ExtractingRequestHandler, then this
should be caused because both
A) you have an id field defined in your solr schema file that's marked
as a required field
and
B) you did not specify an ID parameter when you submitted your
document to the handler.
If you don't want your Solr docs to have an id field, then mark that
field as not required in your schema.
If you *do* want your Solr docs to have a required field called id,
then you'll need to specify the ID when you submit your document. One
way is using an ext.literal parameter, more or less like this:
startofURL...&ext.literal.id=13&...restofURL
Alternatively, you can try the field mapping mechanism, which is
hopefully described on the wiki page.
Cheers,
Chris
