> Currently if we run "ALTER INDEX ... REBUILD" , all the rows in the index are deleted and the index is rebuilt synchronously.
> "ALTER INEX ... REBUILD ASYNC" seems to be used for the IndexTool's partial rebuild option, rebuilding from ASYNC_REBUILD_TIMESTAMP (PHOENIX-2890)
> So it seems currently the only way to fully rebuild is the drop the index, and recreate it.  This is burdensome as it requires have the schema DDL.
> We should have an option to fully rebuild asynchronously, that has the same semantics as dropping and recreating the index.  A further advantage of this is we can maintain the splits of the index table while dropping its data.  We are currently seeing issues where rebuilding a large table via a MR job results in hotspotting due to all data regions writing to the same index region at the start.
