The -keys parameter is a reference to a hash containing all the keys for this index and their assigned rankings. Rankings are allowed to be integer values between -32768 and +32767 inclusive.
The -group and -index are required, the -keys are optional. The Update object is used for update by replacement of all -keys for the specified -group and -index. All existing keys are deleted and the passed -keys is used to insert a completely new set of keys for the specified index/group.
The -data parameter is optional, but if passed will replace the existing -data record for the -index.
