Whatever be the number of indexes on a user table, there will be exactly
one index table for that user table. All the index meta data will be stored
within this single index table. So for one region there will be always one
buddy region, which the balancer has to colocate.
When user table is created there will be index table created with same no#
regions and same region start/end keys. What is selected as the RK for the
index entries is doing the work.
It will be
Index region start key + Index name + indexed col value(s) + user table rk
