Does adding a secondary index (or multiple secondary index) duplicate data or increase the disk space in any way?
In the use case I am talking, the bins store the value as blobs and hence I am not sure how secondary index work in this case.
Thanks
It stores extra references to those keys in memory. https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/plan/capacity/index.html#capacity-planning-for-secondary-indexes
Having values stored as blobs may not make sense to be then indexed… Secondary indices require String or Numerical or GeoJson.
BTW, the secondary index sub-system is on deck for a re-write… hopefully early next year, which will make it more efficient (memory wise) and more performant!
