Description

There should be a config parameter to impose a hard limit on number of indexes per table. There is a SQL Exception https://github.com/apache/phoenix/blob/master/phoenix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/phoenix/exception/SQLExceptionCode.java#L260 , but it gets triggered on the server side (https://github.com/apache/phoenix/blob/master/phoenix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/phoenix/coprocessor/MetaDataEndpointImpl.java#L1589) .

We need a client side limit that can be configured via Phoenix config parameter. Something like if user create more than lets say 30 indexes per table, it would not allow more index creation for the that specific table.
