I’m designing the table for Cloud Spanner. According to the document, we need to consider the hotspot when create the primary key. https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/schema-design?hl=en

However I’m not sure that we need to consider the hotspot about unique index too. Should we consider the hotspot about unique index of Spanner?

Yes, indexes are implemented the same way as tables in Cloud Spanner and have the same performance considerations.
