Re: [VuFind-Tech] Hardcoded uniqueKey in connector?

[Joe A. <jo...@bo...>]

In Solr 4.3 there is be a dedicated API URL for retrieving the uniqueKey,
according to:

http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaRESTAPI

basically:

.../solr/{core/}schema/uniquekey

The {core/} subpath optionally included for multi-core setups.  For Solr
4.2 we would still have to get:

.../solr/{core/}schema/fields

And parse/grep for {it.uniqueKey === true}.

It doesn't seem like an undue additional dependency to me, since a setup
that needs to talk to Solr already needs to Solr... especially if it allows
us to add Solr cores into usage with minimal lines of VuFind code and
configuration.
