In PTableImpl.init it looks like allColumns is sorted, but pkColumns is not sorted. Should I just move this into PTableImpl so that PK columns are sorted? > Support functional indexes > -------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-514 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-514 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: James Taylor > Assignee: Thomas D'Silva > Labels: enhancement > > Instead of only defining the set of columns from the data table that make up > an index, you should be able to use expressions. For example: > CREATE INDEX upper_last_name_idx ON person (UPPER(last_name)) > Then in queries that use UPPER(last_name), we can replace them with column > references to the index table. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
