Hey Tim,
  It is probably not very elegant, but I guess I have used a
combination of 1 and 3.   I put together scripts to request all
combinations of the fields and let the SDK generate the indexes it
wants.  I have done this using windmill (like selenium) script to fill
in and submit forms, which we do during test anyway.  And, I have also
done it with a script used for testing queries.
