you can simply change the table config and invoke the reloadAll segments api on the controller. Note that this will add index the segments on the servers.. not the deepstore

Yes, every new server will have to recompute indices. Every existing server will have to recompute indices it doesn't already have, during reload

Not really.. we did this design on purpose
