Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6477:
-------------------------------------------

The counterpoint is that we shouldn't require ~12 client codebases (if done by 
the driver) or 1000s (if done by app code) to invent this instead of the server.

> 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.
