Michael Marth commented on OAK-1263:
------------------------------------
[~tmueller], could we extend the PropertyIndex in a way that only certain
indexes are configured to explicitly take sorting order into account (so that
there is no burden on other indexes)? Then, apps that intend to use ORDER BY
could create an index specifically for their intended queries.
> optimize oak index to support 'fast ORDER BY' queries to support sorting &
> pagination for large set of children

> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: query
> Affects Versions: 0.12
> Reporter: Stefan Egli
>
> We have a use case where we'd like to be able to use an index in a
> "pagination-like" fashion. That is, we'd like to be able to have an index on
> a subtree on a certain property, and then run a query which does ORDER BY
> that property combined with OFFSET. That way, essentially allowing pagination
> of child nodes of a particular parent based on 'sorted by a certain property'.
> AFAIU currently the oak index is not optimized to support ORDER BY queries in
> a fast manner. The index keeps 'the child nodes unsorted', ie to process an
> ORDER BY, the child nodes would have to be 'manually sorted' which can result
> in bad performance given a large number of child nodes.
