walklex: what is it telling me?

Given this search:

| walklex index=web prefix=host

what is the value contained in 'source'?

source = web~22~F3E2588C-834C-4B2A-B12B-3845A69B5304

I thought this might be a bucket id but it doesn't seem to be. First bit is the index name--what's the rest of it?

walklex documentation doesn't explain what is actually returned by this command, or how to use it.

Hi @charlesmeo,

It is the bucket name, a string composed of <index>~<id>~<guId>, where the delimiters are tilde characters. 

index = index name

id = bucket local id number

guid = guid of the indexer that host that index

Thanks @scelikok answer accepted. Still leaves the larger issue--documentation in this area (walklex, lispy) is pretty sketchy or non-existent.
