OFF-HEAP INDEXES LIMITATIONS

["evaristo.camarero@yahoo.es" <ev...@yahoo.es>]

Hi there,

 Geode 1.8 documentationincludes the following limitation:

 "Note: Do not use functional range indexes withoff-heap data, as they are not supported"



 On the documentationsection refers to range indexes but including the "functional"prefix. Is a "functional range index" the same that a "rangeindex"? In case the answer is no, what is the difference?



 Thanks in advance,

Hi Evaristo,

Yes, "functional" and "functional range" indexes are same.

With respect to off-heap the documentation should have been "do not use
non-compact indexes".
Internally range index is defined/created as "compact" or "non-compact" to
optimize the index storage.

You can find more about compact and non-compact indexes at:
