Create Materialize indexes to accelerate in-memory point lookups on a view

Verified steps

  1. Identify the materialized view or source and the columns most frequently used in WHERE equality or join predicates.
  2. Run CREATE INDEX <index_name> ON <view_name> (<column1>, <column2>) in the cluster where the view is maintained.
  3. Use EXPLAIN SELECT ... to confirm that the query planner uses the index rather than a full scan.
  4. For default indexes (all key columns), use CREATE DEFAULT INDEX ON <view_name>.
  5. Check mz_indexes and mz_index_targets in the system catalog to confirm the index was created and is hydrated.
  6. Drop unused indexes to reduce memory pressure on the cluster.
