    #
    # UniquenessValidator - an ActiveFedora model validator
    #
    # Usage:
    #
    #   validates :field, uniqueness: { solr_name: "field_ssim" }
    #   validates_uniqueness_of :field, solr_name: "field_ssim"
    #
    # Restrictions:
    #
    # - Accepts only one attribute (can have more than one UniquenessValidator on a model, however)
    # - :solr_name option must be present
    # - Can be used on enumerable values (attribute defined with :multiple=>true option), but 
    #   validator subclasses SingleCardinalityValidator, so will not pass validation if enumerable
    #   has more than one member.
    #
    # CAVEAT: The determination of uniqueness depends on a Solr query.
    # False negatives (record invalid) may result if, for example,
    # querying a Solr field of type "text".
    #
    class UniquenessValidator < SingleCardinalityValidator
