the paper doesn't say - nor does it define what a 'primary key index' means

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/overview/wp-oracle-msft-ss-2009-133600.pdfwhich
is about federated database designs it seems reasonable to conclude
that it is intended to be synonymous with 'primary key'.
