the DESCRIBE family of commands in cqlsh are wrappers around queries to the
system keyspace, so if you want to inspect what keyspaces and tables exist
from your application you can do something like:
SELECT columnfamily_name, comment
FROM system.schema_columnfamilies
WHERE keyspace_name = 'test';
or
SELECT * FROM system.schema_keyspaces;

Is there some way in cql to get a list of all tables or column
families that belong to a keystore like show tables in sql?
