Description
Keyset pagination https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/query/query-engine.html#Keyset_Pagination requires ordered indexing on a property.
If all we have is a property "x", which is set on "nt:base" (or a similar node type), then an ordered index on the property "x" can be used for pagination. However, if the property is sometimes multi-valued, then it's not possible, because we don't support ordered indexes on multi-valued properties.
/jcr:root//element(*, nt:base)
[jcr:first(@alias) >= $lastEntry]
order by jcr:first(@alias), @jcr:path
/oak:index/aliasIndex
- type = lucene
- compatVersion = 2
- async = async
- includedPaths = [ "/" ]
- queryPaths = [ "/" ]
+ indexRules
+ nt:base
+ properties
+ firstAlias
- function = "first([alias])"
- propertyIndex = true
- ordered = true
If we have a property that is set on a mixin type (or primary node type), then the index can be much smaller, as we only need to index that node type. However, even here we need a property to do pagination. One option is to order by the lower case version of the name. However, this is quite strange. Also, the node name may not be unique, which complicates things further. It would be good if we can define an ordered index on the path itself (which is unique).
select [jcr:path], * from [nt:file]
where path() >= $lastEntry
and isdescendantnode(a, '/content')
order by path()
/oak:index/fileIndex
- type = lucene
- compatVersion = 2
- async = async
- includedPaths = [ "/content" ]
- queryPaths = [ "/content" ]
+ indexRules
+ nt:file
+ properties
+ path
- function = "path()"
- propertyIndex = true
- ordered = true
It would be good if ordering by node name would use the function index. Test case:
select [jcr:path], * from [nt:file] as a
where name(a) >= $lastEntry
and isdescendantnode(a, '/content')
order by name(a), [jcr:path]
/oak:index/fileIndex
- type = lucene
- compatVersion = 2
- async = async
- includedPaths = [ "/content" ]
- queryPaths = [ "/content" ]
+ indexRules
+ nt:file
+ properties
+ nodeName
- function = "name()"
- propertyIndex = true
- ordered = true
