> Currently, clients must query for row keys from a specific secondary index and delete the results. This incurs network traffic whereas a single server operation would be enough.
> ==== Example ====
> In C* we would have to query for all playlist_id for user "JohnSmith" and issue deletes for each key. Deleting by secondary index would allow the entire operation to occur within C* without the client needing to issue multiple statements.
> Delete By Secondary Index
> CREATE TABLE playlist (
> playlist_id text,
> user_id text,
> song_name set<text>,
> PRIMARY_KEY (playlist_id)
> );
> CREATE INDEX on playlist (user_id);
> DELETE FROM playlist WHERE user_id = "JohnSmith";
> Delete By Client
> // Schema
> CREATE TABLE playlist (
> playlist_id text,
> user_id text,
> song_name set<text>,
> PRIMARY_KEY (playlist_id)
> );
> CREATE INDEX on playlist (user_id);
> // Client
> ResultSet resultSet = session.execute("select playlist_id from playlist where userid = "JohnSmith"");
> PreparedStatement delete = session.prepare("DELETE FROM playlist WHERE playlist_id =  ?");
> for(Row row : resultSet){
> session.execute(delete.bind(row.getString("playlist_id")));
> }
