[Xapian-discuss] change the doc_id

[Alexander Lind]

I let my db make its own unique ID per index:able document, and then 
when the doc is inserted into the xapian index, I let xapian set its own 
doc_id and I then save xapians doc_id in the db with the relevant document.
Much easier and way less error prone than trying to keep the db:s and 
xapians unique id:s in synch, I believe.
