Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-6477:
----------------------------------------------
bq. As a data point, my own preference would be to call them "denormalized
views". As my preference would go to never do the "only keys", I can agree that
calling them "index" is a bit misleading. But I can also agree that
"materialized views" might confuse SQL users that might expect more from them
than what we'll offer. So granted "denormalized views" doesn't reference an
existing term but I see that as a feature. Plus denormalization is really what
we're doing there so ...
Fair enough. I'd +1 that.

> 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.
