> (Broken out of CASSANDRA-10124)
> We could add a {{USING INDEX <indexname>}} clause to {{SELECT}} syntax to force the choice of index and bypass the usual index selection mechanism.
> {code}
> CREATE TABLE ks.t1(k int, v1 int, v2 int, PRIMARY KEY (k));
> CREATE INDEX v1_idx ON ks.t1(v1);
> CREATE INDEX v2_idx ON ks.t1(v2);
> CREATE CUSTOM INDEX v1_v2_idx ON ks.t1(v1, v2) USING 'com.foo.bar.CustomMultiColumnIndex';
> # Override internal index selection mechanism
> SELECT * FROM ks.t1 WHERE v1=0 AND v2=0 USING INDEX v1_idx;
> SELECT * FROM ks.t1 WHERE v1=0 AND v2=0 USING INDEX v2_idx;
> SELECT * FROM ks.t1 WHERE v1=0 AND v2=0 USING INDEX v1_v2_idx;
> {code}
> This is in some ways similar to [index hinting|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/hintsref.htm#CHDJDIAH] in Oracle. 
> edit: fixed typo's (missing INDEX in the USING clauses)
