Question about the query documentation of Couchbase lite 2.0

[hyun...@wisefour.com]

I'm very excited that Couchbase lite 2.0 supports N1QL query language. 

When I read the documentation, I found the below statements on the Query Indexing section. 

(https://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/mobile/2.0/guides/couchbase-lite/native-api/query/index.html#indexing)

To create an index, call  d passing an array of one or more strings.

I can't understand the exact meaning of it. Is there anyone to explain what it is and show the java example code??

The statement means that you can specify the list of properties that you want to index on as an array. 

Something like this ...

private void createDatabaseIndex() {
    try {

        // Regular value type index

        List<Expression> valueProp = new ArrayList<Expression>();
        valueProp.add(Expression.property("type"));
        database.createIndex(valueProp);

        // Create full text search index
        List<Expression> ftsProp = new ArrayList<Expression>();
        ftsProp.add(Expression.property("overview"));
        database.createIndex(ftsProp, IndexType.FullText, new IndexOptions("en", true));
    }
    catch (CouchbaseLiteException e) {
        e.getStackTrace();
    }

}

This is a glitch in the web page: that "d" is supposed to be "CreateIndex()". The text changes depending on what language you select at the top of the page; the other languages work, but the Java text is broken. 

I clicked the Feedback link at the bottom of the page to report the problem; feel free to do the same if you find any more problems.
