 | createBitmapIndex | For `string` typed dimensions, whether or not bitmap indexes should be created for the column in generated segments. Creating a bitmap index requires more storage, but speeds up certain kinds of filtering (especially equality and prefix filtering). Only supported for `string` typed dimensions. | `true` |
+| multiValueHandling | Specify the type of handling for [multi-value fields](../querying/multi-value-dimensions.md). Possible values are `sorted_array`, `sorted_set`, and `array`. `sorted_array` and `sorted_set` order the array upon ingestion. `sorted_set` removes duplicates. `array` ingests data as-is | `sorted_array` |

 Apache Druid supports "multi-value" string dimensions. These are generated when an input field contains an
 array of values instead of a single value (e.g. JSON arrays, or a TSV field containing one or more `listDelimiter`

 This document describes the behavior of groupBy (topN has similar behavior) queries on multi-value dimensions when they
