search any hash field?

[mrgleeco]

After some research, it is still not clear if this capability exists or if I am seeking a new feature:

Given a HASH (or JSON), is it possible to index all its members with a given type?
For example a hash that represents labels (eg. Kubernetes labels) where it is string->string

Is this possible today -or ever- with FT.CREATE? Is there some wildcard magic that one can use?

I guess this is not the right place for questions.

@vyavdoshenko questions can also be posted to Q&A in Github Discussions. I am moving this there

@mrgleeco .Honestly, no not in the “index my whole labels map without thinking about it” way.Hashes are dumb in a good way: you list the fields in the schema, and that’s what gets indexed. Extra keys in the hash that you never mentioned? They’re just sitting there. There’s no secret * in FT.CREATE that means “whatever keys show up, make them all TAGs.” JSON is a bit more flexible because you can sometimes write a path that pulls out several values at once, but they still land in one field you defined. you’re not getting a fresh named field for every random key in the object. For K8s-style labels where every resource has different keys, that’s awkward if you wanted @some-label: to work per key without maintaining a huge schema. People mix up FT.SEARCH using * with “index everything.” That star is about the search, not about auto-discovering hash/json keys at create time.
So: works fine if you know your keys (or you add them as you go). Real “dynamic map → one index slot per key with no maintenance” — that’s basically a feature request, not something you unlock with clever syntax today.
