The key filter still has to walk the entire keyspace, which will make fetches an O(n) operation as opposed to O(1).

I was curious if anyone has any thoughts on what is more performant,
links or key filters in terms of secondary links.  For example:

I want to be able to look up a user by id and email:

*Link implementation:*

Two buckets: user and user_email, where id is the key of user and email
is the key of user_email.  User_email contains no data but simply has a
link pointing back to the proper user.

*Key Filter:*

One bucket: user, where id_email is the key of the bucket.  Lookups
would use a key filter tokenizing the id and then looking up the id or
email based on the proper token.

Obviously both work, but I'm curious what the implications are from a
performance standpoint.

Thanks,

Andrew
