Hi all,

I am currently evaluating OrientDB for a project at work. I need to be able 
to save and efficiently search JSON data that will of the form - 

{
  "id":"myid", 
  "type":"mytype",
  "metadata": { "key1":"val1", "key2":"val2", "key3":"val3"}
}

The "metadata" field is basically an JSON object whose fields are not known 
in advance.
I have created a class to hold records such as the one above - create class 
MyClass extends V

I want to be able to make queries such as - 

select from MyClass where metadata.key1="val1"

I am not able to figure out how I would create indexes for such queries. 
Without an index, the query takes about 6-7 seconds on a table of 1M 
records!

There are a couple of things I tried - 

1) I created an EMBEDDEDMAP property for "metadata" and then created a 
NOTUNIQUE index on it. But queries such as select from MyClass where 
metadata.key1="val1" do not hit the index. 
Queries of the form 'select from MyClass where metadata='key1:val1' do not 
return any results.

2) I created another class for the 'metadata' field and declared an 
EMBEDDED property for 'metadata' that links to this new class. Then if I 
try to create an index on the property, I run into a NullPointerException.

Could someone provide some help here? OrientDB seems to fit all my other 
requirements perfectly and I don't want to rule it out for this one use 
case.

Thanks
Mukta
