There are some substantial architectural differences of opinion among the community on this feature as I understand it, so it's unlikely that JIRA will ever see a commit without a lot more work, if ever.
A similar feature was later introduced into Apache Phoenix, which in this context may best be described as an extension package for HBase offering a suite of relational data management features. You may want to check out http://phoenix.apache.org/secondary_indexing.html and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-933 for background.
