Chris Lohfink commented on CASSANDRA-14825:
-------------------------------------------
bq. You require multiple querys and the user has to know how to put them back
together in the right order to generate a valid schema cql file for use in a
restore
It does require 1 query per keyspace but it does put it in the right order too
be a valid cql fille, there is no relation between the keyspaces so this is
safe. It would be trivial to add one that iterates through keyspaces and
provides a describe keyspace each though
> Expose table schema for drivers

> 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.
