----------------------------------------------
Summary: Advanced table options
Key: CASSANDRA-9337
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9337
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Matthias Broecheler
For applications that build on top of Cassandra, two common use cases emerge:
1) Secondary indexes are used to maintain some form of a custom materialized
view locally in a separate table. This is essentially what C* column indexes
do. In that case, the table should be local (i.e. not replicated) as it is
maintained against another table.
2) A table is used to store configuration information to pertains to the
application running atop of Cassandra which needs to be replicated to all nodes.
In both cases, the replication strategy differs from standard tables and the
tables should not be visible to the user when doing a DESCRIBE KEYSPACE. In
both cases, it would furthermore be nice if writing could be restricted so that
the tables can only be updated from within the process but not by clients
through CQL. No read restrictions need to be imposed.
