Summary: There are actually some use cases which would benefit from the ability to use the primary key when forming the secondary key prefix or value. One such use case, which is demonstrated using a unit test, is building a secondary index on non-initial part(s) of the primary key. The patch adds back this ability, which was was removed in #13207, with a twist: the earlier
GetSecondaryKeyPrefix
is essentially split into two parts, withGetSecondaryKeyPrefix
now being responsible only for computing whatever the secondary index is built on (let's call this "index function result") and a newFinalizeSecondaryKeyPrefix
method having the responsibility of dealing with serialization concerns like adding a length indicator for disambiguation. This also means a slight change for theSecondaryIndexIterator
class: it now treats itsSeek
argument as an "index function result" and thus only calls the newFinalizeSecondaryKeyPrefix
on it (but notGetSecondaryKeyPrefix
).Differential Revision: D68514201
