If you had a specific software or protocol in mind (e.g., “multikey in Redis” or “multikey in AWS KMS”), let me know and I’ll narrow the review.
❌ Complexity – key management, coordination overhead ❌ Larger signatures or additional rounds of communication ❌ Not standardized across all systems multikey
❌ Only one array field per compound index (MongoDB limitation) ❌ Index size can explode if arrays are huge (each element → one index entry) ❌ Performance degrades with very high cardinality arrays (many unique values per document) If you had a specific software or protocol in mind (e
Tagging systems, permissions lists, event participants, any “many-to-many” flattened into a document. multikey
❌ Standard library often missing (C++, Java, Python need custom or third-party) ❌ Memory overhead for multiple key mappings if done naively
