Advice in designing efficient full-text-search of JSON documents using Cloud . BigTable










1















We need help designing full-text-search with BigTable (of say structure JSON documents) and supporting AND boolean queries



For supporting OR we think our design is relatively fine,
Schema is as such:



Row keys format:



json.field_type_1:value1 : doc_ids_family “docid1”, “docid2" , “docid3”, ...
json.field_type_1:value2 : doc_ids_family “docid2", “docid4” , “docid5", ...
json.field_type_2:value1 : doc_ids_family “docid1”, “docid4" , “docid6”, ...
json.field_type_1:value2 : doc_ids_family “docid6", “docid7” , “docid8", ...



Where each row has a family of columns with in many cases thousands (or millions) of columns where the key is a document ID (blank byte)



Simple OR match is efficient O(1) and then we paginate



But finding the intersection of the columns (document IDs that have right value for 2 types is O(n) of documents essentially - needing to do a full columns range scan we might have loop through thousands of columns before with align them



We cannot rely on having a secondary index table, since the number of criteria (number of fields that the AND query may contain is user defined and we do not know ahead of time the number of fields / values — they are tokenized from JSON documents)



Thanks for any advice

    Cloud Bigtable isn't necessarily the best tool for the job. Are you unable to index the data in something like Elasticsearch?
