'show create' commands on the CLI to export schema --------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2221 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2221 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Components: Tools Reporter: Jeremy Hanna Priority: Trivial It would be nice to have 'show create' type of commands on the command-line so that it would generate the DDL for the schema. A scenario that would make this useful is where a team works out a data model over time with a dev cluster. They want to use parts of that schema for new clusters that they create, like a staging/prod cluster. It would be very handy in this scenario to have some sort of export mechanism. Another use case is for testing purposes - you want to replicate a problem. We currently have schematool for import/export but that is deprecated and it exports into yaml. This new feature would just be able to 'show' - or export if they want the entire keyspace - into a script or commands that could be used in a cli script. It would need to be able to regenerate everything about the keyspace including indexes and metadata. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
