RE: Updating secondary index options
Indeed it’s a custom implementation of PerRowSecondaryIndex, in my case I know
it’s safe to update the particular setting I want update, and it won’t rebuild
the index, just provide the ability to tune some settings.
Even on regular Cassandra indexes that are based on SSTables you could want to
update read_repair_chance, sstable_compression, compaction, caching …
I created the below Jira “Wish”:
CASSANDRA-11306<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11306> Add
support for ALTER INDEX command
For now I’ll have to hack something indeed. I tried to update system tables
that holds index options but it seems I need to restart Cassandra twice to be
able to see the changes.

Is this a secondary indexer of your own design so that you know that changing
the options will be safe for existing index entries?
It might be worth a Jira.
Otherwise, you may jus have to manually go in and hack the information under
the hood.

RE: Updating secondary index options
It’s not possible, it’s a PerRowSecondary index, potentially as big as the
table itself (few TBs) it will take a very long time to drop and re-create.

Updating secondary index options
Hi,
I'm using Cassandra 2.2.5 with a custom secondary index. It's created with the
below syntax:
https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.1/cql/cql_reference/create_index_r.html
CREATE CUSTOM INDEX ON users (email) USING 'path.to.the.IndexClass' WITH
OPTIONS = {'some_setting': 'value'};
I'd like to update those settings, I tried the below command based on ALTER
TABLE but it does not work:
cqlsh:test> alter index table_idx WITH OPTIONS = {'some_setting': 'value'};
SyntaxException:
Is there a way to send such updates?
Regards,
Jacques-Henri
