A secondary key may be derived from the primary key, primary data, or a combination of the primary key and data. For secondary keys that are optional, the key creator method may return false and the key/data pair will not be indexed. To ensure the integrity of a secondary database the key creator method must always return the same result for a given set of input parameters.
