Refactor secondary index api
----------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-2982
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2982
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Core
            Reporter: T Jake Luciani
            Assignee: T Jake Luciani
             Fix For: 1.0


Secondary indexes currently make some bad assumptions about the underlying 
indexes.

1. That they are always stored in other column families.
2. That there is a unique index per column

In the case of CASSANDRA-2915 neither of these are true.  The new api should 
abstract the search concepts and allow any search api to plug in.

Once the code is refactored and basically pluggable we can remove the IndexType 
enum and use class names similar to how we handle partitioners and comparators.

Basic api is to add a SecondaryIndexManager that handles different index types 
per CF and a SecondaryIndex base class that handles a particular type 
implementation.

This requires major changes to ColumnFamilyStore and Table.IndexBuilder
