Dataset Field Index

A field index is a data structure in database systems or other computer systems that enables rapid key-value positioning. It provides fast access capabilities to data with specific key values, typically implemented using B-tree (binary tree) or its derivative data structures.

Create indexes for one or multiple fields in the dataset to enhance search and sorting performance.
