Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6477:
-------------------------------------------
bq. Currently, base table evolution is not handled, and any such modification
will actually cause an IRE, but should be addressed
If this means I can't add new columns once I create a GI, I think we need to
address this here and not in another ticket.
(But I also think it's fine by saying that new columns in the base table are
NOT automatically indexed. Or put another way, INCLUDE ALL means "all columns
currently present" and not "all columns that may be added in the future.")

> Local indexes are suitable for low-cardinality data, where spreading the
> index across the cluster is a Good Thing. However, for high-cardinality
> data, local indexes require querying most nodes in the cluster even if only a
> handful of rows is returned.
