Subject: Re: Add unique id to a doc

You could certainly use IndexReader to get the last document in the  
index and retrieve its ID, but why?

What use case do you have in mind for such id's?  Do they have a non- 
arbitrary meaning?  Do your documents have nothing unique to identify  
them already?
