Question

What is the best index type to define a unique numeric id?

Answer

Instead of using the NUMERIC index field for numbers when used as primary keys and when the identifier is not used for range queries, the TAG index type simplifies the search index. So, remember: if the primary is used to access the data but not for range queries, the TAG index type is more convenient.
