Description

In elasticsearch we can specify which field is the id.

This prevents duplicate of documents when re-initializing log ingestion which would otherwise create duplicate docs.

Is this planned in quickwit without having the client calling quickwit to get all the unique ids and send only unique ids not present in logs?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. First clarify which ingestion paths and identifier semantics should be supported, then inspect Quickwit’s ingestion and indexing entry points for existing document-ID handling. Done should mean reinitializing log ingestion does not create duplicate documents without client-side lookup of existing IDs.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
