duplicate index names

[hokaxbt]

Shovel version af07 introduces tableindex field, which enhances query performance.

However, there's a limitation in the current implementation where specifying only column names as parameters can cause silent index creation failures.

For example, when defining two tables with similar index configurations:

{
    "name": "eth_events_univ2_pair_created",
    "columns": [
        { "name": "block_num", "type": "numeric" },
        { "name": "transaction_hash", "type": "bytea" },
        // ... other columns
    ],
    "index": [
        ["block_num DESC"],
        ["transaction_hash"],
        // ... other indexes
    ]
}

{
    "name": "eth_events_univ2_mint",
    "columns": [
        { "name": "block_num", "type": "numeric" },
        { "name": "transaction_hash", "type": "bytea" },
        // ... other columns
    ],
    "index": [
        ["block_num DESC"],
        ["transaction_hash"],
        ["pair"]
    ]
}

Shovel attempts to create indexes with identical names (shovel_block_num and shovel_transaction_hash) across both tables, resulting in index creation failures in one of the table

Thanks for reporting. This is tricky to fix because shovel would need to take into account a new index naming scheme to avoid creating duplicate indexes with different names.

Not sure when I will fix this.

In the meantime you can create indexes manually.
