Variable

Accelerable

add_key is always accelerable if the input is accelerable. A dataset that only uses accelerable verbs can be accelerated, making queries on the dataset respond faster.

Examples

add_key cluster_uid, resource_uid

Adds a candidate key that says that cluster_uid plus resource_uid together uniquely identify the resource instance.
