Hello,
I'm trying to understand the backend of GAE. I'm not clear about
single-property descending indexes. Does BigTable have the capability to do
reverse lexicographical order indexes or the capability to scan in the
reverse direction?
On slide 33 of the under the covers talk (
http://snarfed.org/space/datastore_talk.html ) the Kind and Name of the
index are lexicographical while the value is reversed (compared to slide
22). It is confusing because I would expect to see the "address" and "title"
field in this example to switch when being in the descending order. Any
insight into how this works would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
