Running ArangoDB on Mac with Docker

When I work with ArangoDB on my Mac, I usually install ArangoDB via homebrew and do tests on the latest new developments based on the devel-branch, compiling ArangoDB right from source.

Using Multiple Indexes per Collection in ArangoDB

The query optimizer in ArangoDB 2.8 has been improved in terms of how it can make use of indexes. In previous versions of ArangoDB, the query optimizer could use only one index per collection used in an AQL query. When using a logical OR in a FILTER condition, the optimizer did not use any index for the collection in order to ensure the result is still correct.

This is much better in 2.8. Now the query optimizer can use multiple indexes on the same collection for FILTER conditions that are combined with a logical OR. Read more
