Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSANDRA-14825: --------------------------------------------- Exposing such information from the server has been a controversial topic in the past. See CASSANDRA-8005 for one such discussion. > Expose table schema for drivers > ------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-14825 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14825 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Chris Lohfink > Assignee: Chris Lohfink > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Currently the drivers recreate the CQL for the tables by putting together the > system table values. This is very difficult to keep up to date and buggy > enough that its only even supported in Java and Python drivers. Cassandra > already has some limited output available for snapshots that we could provide > in a virtual table or new query that the drivers can fetch. This can greatly > reduce the complexity of drivers while also reducing bugs like > CASSANDRA-14822 as the underlying schema and properties change. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
