             Summary: Allow deleting records with a secondary index lookup
                 Key: CASSANDRA-6328
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6328
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: David Huang
            Priority: Minor


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_id "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")));
}
