Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6477:
-------------------------------------------
bq. While I agree that a {{VIEW}} in the SQL world has more utility, so does
{{SELECT}}
Correcut, but a view should still be able to represent what ever {{SELECT}}
can! It's not reasonable to expect it to do more, but it's absolutely
reasonable to expect it to match, because that's the definition.
bq. My personal preference would be to have a "cardinality" option clause with
option values like "low", "medium", "high", and "unique".
I don't think we're at the point where we can afford that high a level of
abstraction.

> 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.
