I'd like to pull up Roland's original post here. We have the following 
situation:
our IndexedSliceQueries work perfectly against our cassandra cluster, 
defining indexes via CLI:

create column family A with column_type='Standard' and
>>  comparator='TimeUUIDType' and keys_cached=200000 and read_repair_chance=1.0
>>  and rows_cached=0.0 and column_metadata=[{column_name:
>>  00000000-0000-1000-0000-000000000000, validation_class: UTF8Type,
>>  index_name: MyIndex, index_type: KEYS}];

The only stuff we can't get to work is with embedded cassandra instance 
for our unit tests.
We currently define our indexes _for the embedded instance_ with the 
following yaml directives:

   - column_metadata: [{name: 00000000-0000-1000-0000-000000000000,
      validator_class: UTF8Type, index_name: MyIndex, index_type: KEYS}]
       compare_with: TimeUUIDType
       gc_grace_seconds: 864000
       keys_cached: 0.0
       max_compaction_threshold: 32
       min_compaction_threshold: 4
       name: A
       read_repair_chance: 1.0
       rows_cached: 0.0


So, the question remains: how can we transform our perfectly-working 
index definition from
above to a reasonable yaml-definition for an embedded instance?
If yaml isn't suitable for this task, what would be the preferred way to 
do it programmatically?
