Index Operations

Description

The Index API provides the ability to create and remove secondary indexes.

Aerospike currently supports indexing of strings and integers.

String Indexes

A string index allows for equality lookups. An equality lookup means that if you query for an indexed bin with value "abc", then only the records containing bins with "abc" will be returned.

Integer Indexes

An integer index allows for either equality or range lookups. An equality lookup means that if you query for an indexed bin with value 123, then only the records containing bins with the value 123 will be returned. A range lookup means that you can query bins within a range. So, if your range is (1...100), then all records containing the a value in that range will be returned.

◆ aerospike_index_create()

static as_status aerospike_index_create ( aerospike * as,
as_error * err,
as_index_task * task,
const as_policy_info * policy,
const char * ns,
const char * set,
const char * bin_name,
const char * index_name,
as_index_datatype dtype )
inlinestatic

Create secondary index given data type.

This asynchronous server call will return before the command is complete. The user can optionally wait for command completion by using a task instance.

if (aerospike_index_create(&as, &err, &task, NULL, "test", "demo", "bin1",
"idx_test_demo_bin1", AS_INDEX_NUMERIC) == AEROSPIKE_OK) {
aerospike_index_create_wait(&err, &task, 0);
