Hi,

I am new to PostgreSQL and have a question about the new jsonb type in 9.4. Suppose I have a table called "user" that has two columns: (1) "user_id" of type text, also the primary key, (2) "setting" of type jsonb. With the following query pattern:

SELECT *
FROM user
WHERE user_id IN [...]
ORDER BY setting->>'foo',
         setting->>'bar',
         ...

where ORDER BY clause can contain an arbitrary list of root-level fields in "setting". In this case, how should I create indexes for "user" to get good query performance? 

Thanks,
Pai-Hung
