Have you tried reproducing the issue with the latest release?

Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue (paste the query/schema if possible)

Apply this GraphQL schema:

type Post {
    name: String! @id @search(by: [exact])
}

Expected behaviour and actual result.

Actual result: The schema update gives this error message:

resolving updateGQLSchema failed because input:2: Type Post; Field name: the arguments 'hash' and 'exact' can't be used together as arguments to @search.\n

Exact index is compatible with the @id functionality to maintain the uniqueness of the name field. So, I should be able to create an @id field and take advantage of the exact search functionality as well.

Hi @dmai , Thanks for creating this bug. We add hash index for predicate which have @id directive while converting schema to dgraph. That’s why , we are not able to add exact index on it.
I need to discuss it with team members whether it was design decision or it’s a bug, and if it’s a bug , will fix it soon.

This behavior is fixed and will be available in the 21.03 release.
Now, we overwrite the default hash index with the exact index for a field of type String! @id @search(by:[exact])
