Storage index limitations

Hi,

The Forge Storage API has limitations on indexes which are not quite clear to me.
For example the following statement:

  • The size of combined values for all range attributes on any defined index cannot exceed 900 bytes

Since this lacks an example I find it difficult to interpret. Does this mean that an index on an attribute that stores a date like “YYYYMMDD” can only store ~112 entries? A date in that format should be stored in 8 bytes. 900 bytes is the combined value of ~112 dates. To me that sounds like a useless feature to have indexes.

I would appreciate if any one in the community could share insights and experience with defining indexes for custom store entities.

Kind regards
