Hi Ramesh You can use the schematool command. I am using it for the same purposes in Cassandra 0.7.9.
I use the following line in my cassandra startup script: $CASSANDRA_HOME/bin/schematool HOSTNAME 8080 import where HOSTNAME is the hostname of your test machine. It will import the schema from your cassandra.yaml file. If you execute it and there is already a schema in the cassandra cluster, you'll get a exception from schematool but no impact to the cluster.
