First, you will begin by exploring the most basic kinds of indexes which are known as primary indexes. Next, you will look at secondary indexes containing just a single field and how one or more of them can be used by a N1QL query to improve performance. Then, you will move on to composite indexes containing multiple fields and discuss their benefits and limitations. Finally, you will glimpse the Analytics Service in Couchbase which allows you to run queries against the data in a bucket by splitting them up into datasets of similar documents.
