Description

Hello,

I remember some discussions earlier about supporting secondary indexes. Is that still in progress? If not, what would you recommend? What type of index could we employ into our system with FASTER that doesn't slow down its write performance? Surely, adding an another data structure like LSM would violate the use case of FASTER.

Best.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. The issue asks whether secondary indexes and range queries are supported or planned, and what approach would preserve write performance; done would require a decided, actionable direction rather than an implementation target.
