Component body

Field modules don't always add indexes for its columns (value column of text field for example), this leads to poor performance in views when we would like sort or filter views using the unindexed columns. We can check the query executed by views and add custom indexes manually, but it's not easy to deploy.

With field_index module, we can create custom indexes for fields. The indexes are exportable.
