Tools for using Cassandra's secondary indexes.

Example Usage:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> from pycassa.columnfamily import ColumnFamily
    >>> from pycassa.pool import ConnectionPool
    >>> from pycassa.index import *
    >>>
    >>> pool = ConnectionPool('Keyspace1')
    >>> users = ColumnFamily(pool, 'Users')
    >>> state_expr = create_index_expression('state', 'Utah')
    >>> bday_expr = create_index_expression('birthdate', 1970, GT)
    >>> clause = create_index_clause([state_expr, bday_expr], count=20)
    >>> for key, user in users.get_indexed_slices(clause):
    ...     print user['name'] + ",", user['state'], user['birthdate']
    John Smith, Utah 1971
    Mike Scott, Utah 1980
    Jeff Bird, Utah 1973

This gives you all of the rows (up to 20) which have a 'birthdate' value
above 1970 and a state value of 'Utah'.
