Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6477:
-------------------------------------------
bq. we would need to have a single replica that we push all index updates
through
You're right, that doesn't work.
bq. it would very difficult to determine whether a grouping of updates
indicates simultaneous updates or just a series of updates that happened to use
the same values
I don't think that makes it not work. Each of those values is a separate
partition. I think we get the right answer if we just take the highest value
for each partition and delete any "ghost" entries that may have been missed.

> 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.
