Changing name of `id` column in SphinxSearch index

I have created a SphinxSearch index which look like this:

+---------+-----------+
| Field   | Type      |
+---------+-----------+
| id      | bigint    |
| message | field     |
| created | timestamp |
+---------+-----------+

Is there a way to run the indexer to change the name of the id column? I'm concerned about having multiple indexes all with a column called id. I would prefer to name it message_id or something more descriptive.

Solution

  • No. Id is a fixed name. Its the unique document id.

    Can duplicate it into a unique attribute if you want
