----------------------------------------
Summary: DESCRIBE TABLE does not list materialized views
Key: CASSANDRA-20365
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20365
Project: Apache Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Nadav Har'El
I noticed that if I run DESCRIBE TABLE (the new server-side CQL command, not
the old cqlsh command) on a table that has materialized views, I get back just
{{CREATE TABLE}} command for the base table but no {{{}CREATE MATERIALIZED
VIEW{}}}.
I found this strange for several reasons:
# Old cqlsh documentation such as
[https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/hcd/reference/cqlsh-commands/describe-table.html]
suggested that DESCRIBE TABLE should return "executable CQL information for a
single table, including materialized views that are based on the table".
# Probably a user will want to recreate views when recreating a table.
# On a table with secondary index, CREATE INDEX statements *are* included in
the output of DESCRIBE TABLE. Why should indexes be listed and views not?
Is any of this intentional? I couldn't find any CQL (not cqlsh) documentation
explaining what DESCRIBE TABLE should return, or why.
