Too funny. I was just about to post a very similar message. I also installed CDH3 yesterday, with the intent of diving straight into secondary indexes. Our prototype is only just now evolving to need them, so we hadn't used them yet. And then after spending most of the day getting CDH3 up and running (I'm still finding the cluster configuration a bit challenging) I was a bit surprised to find they were gone. Shame on me for making the assumption they'd be there, even thinking they'd be improved, but it is what it is. I understand and appreciate Todd's explanation of the situation. Thanks for the info. I'm only just beginning to get my head wrapped around HBase myself, so I'm not yet comfortable working on those libraries myself. But I'd like to throw a "me too" vote on getting secondary indexes back in the product ASAP. In the meantime, this morning I found, downloaded, and successfully ran the sample code for this against 0.89: http://lilycms.org/lily/roadmap/sketchbook/hbaseindexes.html It ran with no changes, and looks reasonably straight-forward, so I'm going to start playing with it more and see if it will work for our needs. Jamie, you may want to check it out. Neal
