Tell me one simple usecase for storing mutiple keys with json data

Question

Hello Multichain team, I know this stream feature has come as enhancement on multichain 1.x version .  what I  am not able to understand  is how to use multiple keys against json data ? can you please give a simple usecase where it helps .

Answer 1

It's useful if you want to have stream items categorized in multiple ways for easy retrieval. For example if it contains employee information, you might add keys for department, job title, and location. Then you can easily retrieve information on all employees in a particular department or location.

Not currently, though that's a good idea for a future feature.
