Generate SAI index files as well while producing sstable files, so no need of async rebuilding of SAI indexes after bulk write.

CqlTable cqlTable = new SchemaBuilder(createStatement, keyspace, replicationFactor, partitioner,
cassandraTypes -> udts, tableId, indexStatements, enableCdc).build();
// SAI is a Cassandra 5.0+ feature: register any Storage Attached Index definitions on the table metadata
// after the shared SchemaBuilder has built/registered the (index-less) table.
// buildSchema is invoked repeatedly within a JVM (the index-carrying per-partition RecordWriter included),
// so this re-applies the SAI definitions whenever a rebuild left the table without them.
StorageAttachedIndexApplier.maybeApply(keyspace, cqlTable.table(), indexStatements);
return cqlTable;

Schema Is created first and then SAI indexes are attached in the next step, I wondering about the brief moment between two statements where the schema doesn't have SAI indexes.

WDYT about merging both operations into a single CassandraSchema.apply in the 5.0 bridge? you might have to override CassandraSchema.apply call entirely from the 5.0 bridge and don't use SchemaBuilder's constructor at all for the schema update.

I am open to other approaches too

Done using a afterRegister function

// This builder always produces an index-less table (indexes are applied later by the 5.0 bridge), so a
// rebuild never carries indexes even if the caller passed index statements. buildSchema runs repeatedly per
// table in a JVM; if an earlier call already registered indexes, copy them onto this rebuild so it matches
// the registered table.
if (maybeExistingTableMetadata != null
&& !maybeExistingTableMetadata.indexes.isEmpty()
&& tableMetadata.indexes.isEmpty())
{
tableMetadata = tableMetadata.unbuild()
.indexes(maybeExistingTableMetadata.indexes)
.build();
}

RecordWriter is using 5 arg buildSchema() method which is not attaching index statements, you could eliminate copying indexes here if you use the 8 arg buildSchema() method in RecordWriter and can eventually get rid of 5 arg buildSchema() method

cqlTable = writerContext.bridge()
                          .buildSchema(writerContext.schema().getTableSchema().createStatement,
                                       writerContext.job().qualifiedTableName().keyspace(),
                                       IGNORED_REPLICATION_FACTOR,
                                       writerContext.cluster().getPartitioner(),
                                       writerContext.schema().getUserDefinedTypeStatements(),
                                       null,
                                       writerContext.schema().getTableSchema().getIndexStatements(),
                                       false);

I did restructure and moved SAI specific code to extended class. Now this comment not applicable I believe
