- DocumentDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides automatic indexing of JSON documents without requiring schemas (schema agnostic). - It uses a logical index that maps JSON paths to postings lists containing document identifiers. This index is implemented using a physical write-optimized architecture with blind updates and value merging to support high write volumes. - The physical index uses a log-structured storage approach with delta records, mapping tables, and page stubs to allow for highly concurrent updates while minimizing I/O overhead during index maintenance.
