             Summary: Indexing: filter entries with a regular expression
                 Key: OAK-8934
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-8934
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: indexing
            Reporter: Thomas Mueller
            Assignee: Thomas Mueller


We should provide a way to filter the index using a regular expression. For 
example, only index nodes that contain a reference to another node. (Not a JCR 
reference, but a reference within the value itself). For example, index a node 
if one of the properties contains:

* /content/abc
* <html...> <a href="/content/abc">
* and so on

This will allow to run a query to find if /content/abc is referenced. The index 
and the query will probably need to use a tag, and the cost of the index needs 
to be high. Otherwise the query engine can't know when this index should be 
used.
