Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-6915:
-----------------------------------------
In RDBMS the keyword {{EXPLAIN}} describes the access path for a DML statement.
This is similar to C* trace functionality.
Maybe it's an option to add some {{EXPLAIN}} support to cqlsh using a "macro" -
but without actually just simulating writes (so it implies native protocol
changes and C* code changes).
{{EXPLAIN <statement>:}}
{noformat}
TRACING ON;
<statement>;
TRACING OFF;
{noformat}
> Show storage rows in cqlsh

> In Cassandra it's super important to understand how your CQL schema
> translates to the underlying storage rows. Right now the only way to see
> this is to create the schema in cqlsh, write some data, then query it using
> the CLI. Obviously we don't want to be encouraging people to use the CLI
> when it's supposed to be deprecated. So I'd like to see a function in cqlsh
> to do this.
