    Description

      In other RDBMS, there is the concept of GLOBAL or LOCAL indexes on partitioned tables.

      MariaDB currently has LOCAL indexes, which are local to each partition in a table.

      A GLOBAL index on the other hand is a one-to-many relationship, allowing one index partition to map to many table partitions and avoid the scanning behavior when partition keys are not in a query.

      Implementations on other databases:

      Good justification on why postgres (and MariaDB) should have it: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CALtqXTcurqy1PKXzP9XO%3DofLLA5wBSo77BnUnYVEZpmcA3V0ag%40mail.gmail.com
