Zen Indexes

Formal description of Zen Indexes in aidbox.index.v1. Read this guide first.

Index can be used to create any PostgreSQL index. Auto-index is auto-generated based on Zen SearchParameter.

Zen Index validation schema:

{ns aidbox.index.v1
 import #{aidbox.search-parameter.v1
          zenbox}

 index
 {:zen/tags #{zen/schema zen/tag}
  :zen/desc "Index definition for Aidbox V1"
  :type zen/map
  :require #{:table :expression :type}
  :keys
  {:table {:type zen/string}
   :expression {:type zen/string}
   :type {:type zen/keyword
          :enum [{:value :gin}
                 {:value :btree}]}}}

 auto-index
 {:zen/tags #{zen/schema zen/tag}
  :zen/desc "Auto-generated index definition for Aidbox V1"
  :type zen/map
  :require #{:for}
  :keys
  {:for {:type zen/symbol :tags #{aidbox.search-parameter.v1/search-parameter}}}}}
