seeing memory_used_index_bytes having 4G while there are no index

Aerospike version: Community Edition - 4.0.11

We have lot of data in our aerospike setup, but there are no indexes setup. aql command show indexes does not shows anything, but when I run asinfo "namespace/my_namespace" I see lot of bytes in field: memory_used_index_bytes, which as par docs is:

Amount of memory occupied by the index for this namespace. For server version 4.3 and above, if your index is not stored in DRAM (persisted), see index_flash_used_bytes. For index-type set to flash (persisted index), the value will be 0.

What does this memory actually contains, is it index used for primary key?

Correct, this is the memory used for the primary index, 64 bytes per record. Refer to this page as well: https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/plan/capacity/.
