mongodb 何时使用索引，使用怎么样的索引?
发布于 9 年前 作者 haozxuan 7498 次浏览 最后一次编辑是 8 年前 来自 问答

下面是一个简单的demo操作，可以在本地有mongodb环境尝试

db.test.insert({price:45,category:'normal',brand:'GE'});
db.createIndex({price:-1});
db.createIndex({category:1,brand:1});

query1: db.test.find({brand:'GE'});
query2: db.test.find({brand:'GE'}).sort({price:1});
query3: db.test.find({$and:[{price:{$lt:50}}, {price:{$gt:30}}]}).sort({brand:1});
query4: db.test.find({ brand:'GE'}).sort({category:1, brand:-1});

场景还原：假设按照如上操作，插入一条数据，并建立索引，分别执行query，问有哪些使用了索引，为什么使用这样的索引？ 提示：可以使用explain查看详细信息，以下是四条语句的executionStats；

query1："executionStats" : {
		"executionSuccess" : true,
		"nReturned" : 1,
		"executionTimeMillis" : 0,
		"totalKeysExamined" : 0,

###分析： query1毋庸置疑，由于brand并没有索引，所以stage为[COLLSCAN](http://docs.mongoing.com/manual-zh/reference/explain-results.html" title="COLLSCAN) 全collection扫描

query2 因为查询语句执行优先级为，等值条件 > 排序条件 > 范围条件 索引stage为FETCH，进行了取值的查询，问题1 ，TETCH和COLLSCAN有什么区别？；

query3 对于该查询语句则是一脸懵逼，因为stage为SORT，并非四种常见的stage。 在此官方文档给出了解释，由于本人英语比较渣，所以个人的理解是：当客户端请求将结果排序返回时，如果mongodb不能使用索引字段进行排序，那么stage将是SORT，如果能则不包含stage为SORT；这个当然不是重点，重点是stage还有KEEP_MUTATIONS SORT_KEY_GENERATOR 这个不仅官方没有找到资料，Google也无能为了，只能希冀大神帮助解释一下了， 问题2 为何query3的executionStages有4层inputStage嵌套，而且最底层才使用price索引；

query4 同理query3的查询中出现的stage为SORT，因为mongodb并不能根据已有索引进行排序，所以也出现了stage为SORT，当然对于SORT_KEY_GENERATOR 还是一脸懵逼；问题3 为何query4不能使用category_1_brand_1这个索引，或者换个角度，category_1_brand_1 和category_1_brand_-1有区别吗？如果有，那么category_1_brand_1 和 brand_1_category_1有区别吗？当然对于该问题，本质上是不太了解mongodb的索引结构（虽然知道是B-Tree，但是仍旧不清楚）；

希望大神不吝赐教

问题3，category_1_brand_1索引并不是brand_1_category_1索引，因此find by brand是无法使用的，sort当然也就无法使用了。 https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/sort-results-with-indexes/

@xltank 非常感谢，这个文档回答了我对compound index 的疑惑。不过对于multi index 为何只有 { a: 1 } { a: 1, b: 1 } { a: 1, b: 1, c: 1 }

却不包含

{ a: 1, c: 1 }

还有对于non-prefix 怎么理解An index can support sort operations on a non-prefix subset of the index key pattern. To do so, the query must include equality conditions on all the prefix keys that precede the sort keys. 这句话中的 equality

1

联合索引是依次排序的，按照{a:1, c:1}去查询索引时，先查到了a:1，然后和a索引紧密联系的是b，而不是c。找完a后找b时你发现容易找，但是c对a来说是无序的，因此没办法用索引。 联合索引的优化方式中，面对跳跃的情况，可以手工补全b的所有可能值，也因此这种优化方式是有条件的，就是b的值不会太多。 关于联合索引的b-tree形式，我没找到，但我理解为单线联系的关系：a1-b1-c1, a1-b2-c1, …

prefix说的是索引的前缀，比如a就是b，c的前缀；a，b又是c的前缀。non-prefix，就是说可以按照c排序，但是在排序前的查询阶段，需要“补全”整个前缀。这个equality应该是“等价”的意思，也就是和query by a,b,c等价的条件，比如query by a, sort by b,c， 或者query by a,b, sort by c

@xltank 非常感谢，现在对索引的使用有了新的理解；

欠楼主10块钱的路过。。
