If you are still looking for an answer,

In schema.xml , include the following

<fieldType name="uuid" class="solr.UUIDField" indexed="true" /> 
<field name="id" type="uuid" indexed="true" stored="true" default="NEW" /> 

In elevate.xml, use this ID to map your search term to the best bet result .

<elevate>
 <query text="foo bar">
  <doc id="4602376f-9741-407b-896e-645ec3ead457" />
 </query>
</elevate>

Here, 4602376f-9741-407b-896e-645ec3ead457 is the value in the "id" field of the best bet document. Wish, Solr allows us to specify any primary key field , say employeeid or productid for specifying in the elevate.xml

Yes, at the moment QueryElevationComponent requires a string unique key. This limitation is documented in the Solr wiki.

Here's the issue in the project JIRA.
