Stefan Miklosovic updated CASSANDRA-20365:
------------------------------------------
Status: Needs Committer (was: Patch Available)
> 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
> Components: Legacy/Core, Legacy/CQL
> Reporter: Nadav Har'El
> Assignee: Stefan Miklosovic
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 5.x
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> 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.
