table index list

This topic describes how to list information about the secondary indexes created on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables.

Permissions Required

To run this command, your user ID must have the following permissions:

  • readAce on the volume
  • lookupdir on directories in the table path
NOTE
The mapr user is not treated as a superuser. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database does not allow the mapr user to run this command unless that user is given the relevant permission or permissions with access-control expressions.

Syntax

CLI
maprcli table index list
  -path <path>
  [ -indexname <index name> ]
  [ -refreshnow < true | false > ]
REST
curl -k -X GET 
  'http[s]://<host>:<port>/rest/table/index/list?path=<path>&<parameters>' 
  -u <username>:<password>

Parameters

Parameter

Description

path

(Required) Path to where the parent JSON table resides
indexname (Optional) Name of the index for which to display information. If omitted, the output includes all indexes created on the table.

refreshnow

 (Optional) Whether to fetch the current status of the index

Default: False

Example

CLI
maprcli table index list -path /my.cluster.com/volume1/table1
maprcli table index list -path /demo/business -json
REST
curl -X GET \
  'https://r1n1.sj.us:8443/rest/table/index/list?path=%my.cluster.com%2Fvolume1%2Ftable1' \
  -u <username>:<password>
curl -X GET \
  'https://r1n1.sj.us:8443/rest/table/index/list?path=%2Fdemo%2Fbusiness' \
  -u <username>:<password>

Output Fields

Output Field Description
cluster The cluster on which the index resides
type For indexes, this is always maprdb.si
indexFid A unique id used to identify the index in file system
indexName Name of the index
hashed A boolean value that specifies whether the index is hashed
indexState The replication state of the index. For information about the replication states, see Table Replication States.
idx The index id. Unique per table.
indexedFields The list of indexed fields with the sort order of each key
includedFields The list of included fields in the index. Missing from output if there are no included fields.
isUptodate A boolean value that specifies if the index is up-to-date
minPendingTS The epoch time in milliseconds of the oldest operation that has yet to be replicated to the index
maxPendingTS The epoch time in milliseconds of the newest operation that has yet to be replicated to the index
bytesPending The number of bytes that have yet to be replicated to the index
putsPending The number of puts that have yet to be replicated to the index
bucketsPending The number of buckets that have yet to be replicated to the index
copyTableCompletionPercentage
The percentage of data from the source that has been copied to the index during the setup phase of replication. After replication setup completes, the value remains at 100.
NOTE
When replicating data to the index, the copyTableCompletionPercentage value may decrease. This happens when splits or merges occur in the JSON table's regions, or the table receives new data.
numTablets The number of tablets the index occupies
numRows The number of rows in the index
totalSize The total size of the index

Example Output

maprcli table index list -path /demo/business -json -indexname i1

Troubleshooting Use Cases

Situations where you can use this command include the following:

  • Examine the properties of an index.
  • Determine if there is a lag in updates in an index.

See Troubleshooting Secondary Indexes for more information on these use cases.
