Secondary index

Hi.From secondary index test i found that index can be created only during
column family creation, is it correct ?
Is there any way to add new secondary index after column family is created
(on going) ?

Thank You and Best Regards.
Slava.

Yeah, thats a current limitation: indexes for a table must be pre-defined.

I'm at a point where I need the ability to add/modify indexes for existing
tables as well, so may work on a patch in the next week or so...
