For an individual node, you can check the status of building indexes using 
nodetool compactionstats.  And similarly, if you want to speed up building the 
indexes (and you have the extra IO) you can increase or unthrottle your 
compaction throughput temporarily - nodetool setcompactionthrough 0 to 
unthrottle it.  Default is 16.
