----------------------------------
Summary: Query: index definition documentation and tooling
Key: OAK-178
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-178
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Thomas Mueller
Assignee: Thomas Mueller
Unlike Jackrabbit 2.x, indexes in the Oak query engine are user defined, that
means data is only indexed if there is a matching index. Those indexes are then
automatically used for the appropriate queries. The current plan is to define
indexes as nodes within a repository. An index is created if an index metadata
node is created, and the index is removed if the index metadata node is
removed. The index content is automatically updated if the content changes
(either synchronously or asynchronously).
The location and structure of the index metadata needs to be defined and
documented.
Also, to simplify defining and managing indexes, it may make sense to write a
utility (helper class) for managing indexes. Internally, this utility uses the
regular JCR API and accesses the documented index metadata nodes.
