Allow index sampling ratio to be configured in storage-conf
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1488
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1488
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.6.6


Cassandra keeps a sample of row keys in memory to look up the right block of 
index entries, to look up row data with.  This is kept in the 
SSTableReader.indexSummary field.  (See Google's BigTable paper for a 
high-level description of how this index works; cassandra's is slightly 
different in the details but the idea is the same.)

We'd like to make IndexSummary.INDEX_INTERVAL configurable in storage-conf.xml, 
i.e., in the DatabaseDescriptor class.  For 0.6, a global setting is fine.
