Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3583:
-------------------------------------------
Checked with Jake. The use case he wants to support is rebuilding a corrupt
index. So, we *do* want to rip out existing sstables, if any, when starting
the rebuild. (Jake envisions this being done on a node that has been taken
offline temporarily so index queries can continue to be done against other
nodes.)

> CASSANDRA-1740 allows aborting an index build, but there is no way to
> re-attempt the build without restarting the server.
> We've also had requests to allow rebuilding an index that *has* been built,
> so it would be nice to kill two birds with one stone here.
