MySQL 8.0 Labs: JSON aggregation functions

Re:MySQL 8.0 Labs: JSON aggregation functions by malisper on Thursday October 06, 2016 @05:37PM (#12656326)

Is there a way to index JSON in MySQL without creating one index per unique field?

The mapping is not strictly one index per field, but a virtual column expression must map to a MySQL type. So depending on the use-case you may be able to use more complicated expressions to limit indexes.

But to expand your question, there are two FRs we are looking at:

1) Inverted (aka FULLTEXT) indexes on JSON documents 2) Multi-value indexes
