 * Annotation for secondary index. Example

 * {@literal @}Table(table = "my_entity")
 * public class MyEntity {

 * //Simple index
 * {@literal @}Column
 * <strong>{@literal @}Index</strong>
 * private String countryCode;

 * //Simple index with custom name
 * {@literal @}Column("custom_name")
 * <strong>{@literal @}Index(name = "country_code_idx")</strong>
 * private String customName;

 * //Index on collection
 * {@literal @}Column
 * <strong>{@literal @}Index</strong>
 * private List<String> indexedList;

 * //Full index on collection because of the usage of <strong>{@literal @}Frozen</strong>
 * {@literal @}Column
 * <strong>{@literal @}Frozen</strong>
 * <strong>{@literal @}Index</strong>
 * private List<String> indexedFullList;

 * //Index on <strong>map key</strong>
 * {@literal @}Column("indexed_map_key")
 * private Map<<strong>{@literal @}Index</strong> String, Long> indexOnMapKey;

 * //Index on <strong>map entry</strong>
 * {@literal @}Column("index_map_entry")
 * <strong>{@literal @}Index</strong>
 * private Map<String, Long> indexOnMapEntry;

 * //Custom index
 * {@literal @}Column
 * <strong>{@literal @}Index(indexClassName = "com.myproject.SecondaryIndex", indexOptions = "{'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}")</strong>
 * private String custom;

 * ...
 * }

 * The above code would produce the following CQL script for index creation:
 * <pre class="code"><code class="sql">

 * CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS ON my_entity(countryCode);

 * CREATE INDEX country_code_idx IF NOT EXISTS ON my_entity(custom_name);

 * CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS ON my_entity(indexedlist);

 * CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS ON my_entity(FULL(indexedfulllist));

 * CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS ON my_entity(KEYS(indexed_map_key));

 * CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS ON my_entity(ENTRY(index_map_entry));

 * CREATE CUSTOM my_entity_custom_index INDEX IF NOT EXISTS
 * ON my_entity(custom)
 * USING com.myproject.SecondaryIndex
 * WITH OPTIONS = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'};
