Thank you. I have more queries on the topic. we will be applying queries like
1. key like "%sessionID% as sessionid will not be the actual key. we will have several objects where same sessionid is going to be part of multiple objects and we will have to get all objects that contains a particular sessionid and aggregate results on client. So we will be running queries like key like "%sessionId%". In this case should we assign any index on the key fileds as key is not actual sessionid but a concatenation of some string and sessionid ? 2. Also we can have sessionid as part of the value field and then apply PDX serialization on the value objects and run queries and can have = comparison on value objects. Would this be faster than running queries on key fields. If we can run queries on key fields itself what is the real advantage of having PDX serialization ? thanks, Siby. -- Sent from: http://apache-geode-incubating-developers-forum.70738.x6.nabble.com/
