So a feature that was described as half-ready 7 months ago is actually still undecided design-wise 7 months later? That's surprising. When do you think secondary index will be available?
As can be seen in the follow ups for that ticket, we haven't yet decided if we'll support standard secondary index, SASI, some form of materialized views, or all of them. Until we do, it's hard to commit to a timeline. Basic secondary index (for which we have code half ready) is pretty simple, and if we do implement it, it should land in our main version in a couple of weeks. The others are a bit more complicated.
