[scim] Proposal for attribute indexing

[Phil Hunt <[e-mail]>]

Please indicate your approval or comments with the following proposal for Ticket 47 ( http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/scim/trac/ticket/47 )

It is proposed that the following attribute is to be added to section 11 of the scim-core-schema draft to aid discovery of available searches for attributes:

indexed - One or more keyword values indicating the type of filters that MAY be used 
with the attribute. Valid values are the filter operators defined in section 3.2.2.2. 
For example, "eq" indicates the attribute and operator value must be identical for 
a match. To further values are defined:
* any - any filter may be used.
* none - no filter operator may be used with this attribute.
In section 9 of scim-core-schema, the service provider schema will have a new attribute as follows:

unindexedFilters - A Boolean value indicating whether searches filters using unindexed 
attributes are supported.
Additionally the following text is included in section 3.2.2.2 of the scim-api draft:

For any filter for which there is no index available and unindexed searching 
is not available, the server SHALL evaluate the the filter term as not matched.
