Not exactly sure what you mean here, all data access is through the thrift API unless you code java and embed cassandra in your app.
As well as Pig support there is also Hive support in brisk (which will also have Pig support soon) http://www.datastax.com/products/brisk Can you provide some more info on the use case ? Personally if you have a read query you know you need to support, I would consider supporting it in the data model without secondary indexes.
