Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1311:
-------------------------------------------
i take it this is best-suited for triggers that are
- invoked frequently
- idempotent
so that missing an update once in a while (because of a server restart after
row update but before trigger processing) is not a big deal?
what use cases do we have for this? indexing actually does not fit this
description, since if you miss updating an index row for changing the value
from 4 to 6, firing the trigger for the change from 6 to 8 will not fix the
invalid index entry for 4.

> Asynchronous triggers is a basic mechanism to implement various use cases of
> asynchronous execution of application code at database side. For example to
> support indexes and materialized views, online analytics, push-based data
> propagation.
