Limitations
Can be part of a multi-column index
Only one array expression per index
Avoiding combinatorial explosion
Can flatten and index nested arrays
CAST(json->'$.the_array[*][*]' AS UNSIGNED INT ARRAY)
Can't be PRIMARY
Can be UNIQUE](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/json-array-indexes-in-mysqlslideshare-191003082105/85/JSON-Array-Indexes-in-MySQL-5-320.jpg)

How do I use it?
CREATE TABLE lottery (data JSON);
CREATE INDEX ticket_idx ON lottery ((CAST(data->'$.lottery_tickets' AS UNSIGNED INT ARRAY)));
INSERT INTO lottery VALUES
('{"id":1, "name":"Alice", "lottery_tickets": [1]}'),
('{"id":2, "name":"Bob", "lottery_tickets": [2,22]}'),
('{"id":3, "name":"Carol", "lottery_tickets": [3,33,333]}'),
('{"id":4, "name":"Dan", "lottery_tickets": [4,44,444,4444]}'),
('{"id":5, "name":"Erin", "lottery_tickets": [5,55,555,5555,55555]}');
Cast to array is only available
when creating a functional index

How do I use it?
Find all rows that contain one or more of the given values
SELECT data
FROM lottery
WHERE JSON_OVERLAPS(data->'$.lottery_tickets', CAST('[22,44]' AS JSON));

least one winning ticket
