Nate McCall commented on CASSANDRA-14825: ----------------------------------------- bq. 1. Return a single row and column that just has the entire schema in it. I'm -1 on this. Good, bad or ugly, there are *a lot* of clusters out there that do multi-tennancy or otherwise have > 1k tables for which this would be untenable. Second option could work though as it would facilitate paging, etc. > 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: 20m > 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
