thunguo opened a new issue, #1424:
URL: https://github.com/apache/dubbo-admin/issues/1424

   <!-- Please only use this template for submitting feature requests -->
   
   **What would you like to be added**:
   
   Extend and persist the index mechanism in Admin to support prefix matching 
queries and multi-replica deployment scenarios.
   
   The following improvements are proposed (see full design in #1381):
   
   1. **Extend Index Query Logic**
      Refactor the `Indexer` definition to support more logical operators 
beyond the current `Equals`-only matching (e.g., prefix matching). Update 
upper-layer components (`Manager`, `Console`) accordingly to align with the new 
`Indexer` interface.
   
   2. **Memory Store: Trie-based Index**
      For users who choose in-memory storage, introduce a **Trie (prefix 
tree)** structure to efficiently support prefix matching queries. 
Leader-Follower architecture does not apply in this mode, so the index remains 
in-memory.
   
   3. **DB Store: Persistent Index**
      For users who choose database storage, where `Discovery` and `Engine` run 
under a Leader-Follower architecture (#1380), persist indexes into the database 
by introducing new index tables. Index queries should support combined 
conditions including prefix matching, ensuring that frontend queries remain 
effective across all replicas in a multi-replica deployment.
   
   **Why is this needed**:
   
   Currently, Admin maintains all indexes in memory with a simple 
`map[idx_value][resource_key]` structure, and only supports `Equals` matching. 
This has two limitations:
   
   - **Limited query capability**: Prefix matching and other query patterns are 
not supported, restricting the expressiveness of search and query operations 
from the frontend.
   - **Multi-replica incompatibility**: When Admin is deployed with multiple 
replicas, only one replica maintains the in-memory index (due to 
Leader-Follower in #1380). This means frontend queries routed to follower 
replicas cannot access the index, causing inconsistent query results across 
replicas.
   
   Persisting indexes to the database and extending the query logic addresses 
both issues, making Admin's index mechanism more robust, expressive, and 
production-ready for distributed deployments.
   
   Proposal: #1381
