Hi Hari, In the new 0.89+ versions those were all complete removed and moved to GitHub. The biggest reason being that you need to have someone maintaining the code and especially with contrib code this is difficult if there is only one developer doing that. Clint developed that contrib code and maintains it now on GitHub but it does not need to be included into the release. I know that some people use it, including Clint. I have personally implemented my own code based secondary indexes, just because there wasn't any package that would have done that for me. It does work but adds overhead to the system as it uses the also included TransactionalHBase which has to negotiate the two table updates across a transaction.
