there's no way to alter the primary key once a table has been created. You need to create a new table that has the schema you'd like to have and then either move the data over with COPY TO

or with insert into to_table (i) (select ... from t)
. With CrateDB > 2.0 it's also possible to rename tables, so you can still use the original table name.
