*Known performance issue
This release addressed an issue where the content_access_policy table was not properly indexed causing performance issues. If you've installed an earlier version of access policy and are experiencing performance issues on your site add this update hook to a module.

Note: Given how much the module could change during the alpha phase we have adopted a policy of not including update hooks until after 1.0.

/**
 * Update content_access_policy entity index.
 */
function module_update_8001() {
  $schema = Database::getConnection()->schema();
  if (!$schema->indexExists('content_access_policy', 'content_access_policy__lookup')) {
    $fields = [
      'content_entity_type_id',
      'content_entity_id',
    ];
    $schema->addUniqueKey('content_access_policy', 'content_access_policy__lookup', $fields);
  }
}
