What is Secondary Index in Cassandra ?
Answer / Ashu Kumar
A secondary index in Apache Cassandra allows for efficient querying of data without having to know the exact column family or partition key. It provides an additional structure that stores all the column names, their values, and their corresponding row keys. Using secondary indexes can improve query performance but may come at the cost of increased memory usage and potentially slower write operations.
