-------------------------------------------
Summary: Adding support for heterogeneous index
Key: ASTERIXDB-3536
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-3536
Project: Apache AsterixDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: COMP - Compiler
Reporter: shahrzad shirazi
A Heterogeneous Index allows creating an index on a field without specifying
its type. This means the field’s type no longer needs to be defined in the data
type or the index creation DDL. Previously, creating a secondary index required
the field's type to be defined either in the data type or explicitly in the
index DDL, making it impossible to index heterogeneous fields.
example:
{code:java}
CREATE TYPE UserType AS { userId : int};
create dataset UserTypes(UserType) primary key userId;
// Creating a heterogeneous index on the field age
create index idx_user_age on UserTypes(age);{code}
