Field parameters

Field parameters #

The cross-type parameter catalog: what every field (whatever its type) accepts in a schema, grouped by category. Each parameter notes which types carry it; each field type page links back here.

Not yet exposed through the schema API #

  • index_sort: engine-side capability — sort documents by one field at index time ({"order": "asc", "missing": "last"}), applied during compaction, letting sorted segments terminate range/sort queries early. Not yet exposed through the collection schema API (no request-body parameter accepts it); setting it programmatically on an engine schema is the only path today.
