Make sure you're clear on the concepts though. "Unique ID" is kind of fuzzy. Unique Key is a field YOU define in your schema. This will cause SOLR to overwrite any document already in the index with a particular unique key when another document is added. Examples would be, say, "inventory_number" or "part_number" or...
Docment IDs, on the other hand, are assigned internally by SOLR/Lucene and, by definition, there will never be duplicates. To confuse the issue a bit more, as Lance points out it's possible to have SOLR generate unique keys for you (completely separate from document IDs), but I'd advise against this until you know exactly what that'll do. You haven't told us what problem you're trying to solve though, so it's hard to really recommend anything with confidence...
