Introduction to Skiplist Indexes

This is an introduction to ArangoDB's skip-lists.

It is possible to define a skip-list index on one or more attributes (or paths) of a documents. This skip-list is then used in queries to locate documents within a given range. If the skip-list is unique, then no two documents are allowed to have the same set of attribute values.
