worldspawn opened a new issue #1388: Couchdb documentation for json index definition is unclear on support for indexing array fields URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1388 The documentation here http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.1/api/database/find.html#db-index says ```Index object format for JSON type indexes The index object is a JSON array of field names following the sort syntax. Nested fields are also allowed, e.g. “person.name”.``` It doesn't explicitly state that indexing array fields is allowed. It doesnt' provide an example of how to do it if it is. To clarify, given: ```{ "_id": "theid", "results": [ { "type": "sometype" } ] }``` I know i can query that with the $elemMatch selector but can it be indexed too? I've read a few examples suggesting that a notation like "results[].type" or "results.[].type" can be used but in my own tests I always get a warning stating that no matching index could be found.
