Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-7622: ------------------------------------------- {quote}You do not get {{CREATE TABLE USING CompactionStats compaction_stats}}, it still displays the schema how you would expect with a {{create table....}} output because thats the way cqlsh is created to take a schema and display it.\{quote} Do not get me wrong. Both approach have some issues in my opinion even if {{{{CREATE TABLE USING CompactionStats compaction_stats}}}} is less misleading. The problem of displaying the table as a normal one is that it let the user believe that it is a normal table which is not the case in many ways. {quote} While I think its possible to use that shim to do other things I very much doubt it would ever be used as such.\{quote} Then we do not need that logic. It is wrong in my opinion to add some logic just in case we might need it one day. > Implement virtual tables > ------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-7622 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7622 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: CQL > Reporter: Tupshin Harper > Assignee: Chris Lohfink > Priority: Major > Fix For: 4.x > > > There are a variety of reasons to want virtual tables, which would be any > table that would be backed by an API, rather than data explicitly managed and > stored as sstables. > One possible use case would be to expose JMX data through CQL as a > resurrection of CASSANDRA-3527. > Another is a more general framework to implement the ability to expose yaml > configuration information.
