Jon Haddad created CASSANDRA-12644:
--------------------------------------
Summary: CREATE OR ALTER TABLE
Key: CASSANDRA-12644
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12644
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jon Haddad
Similar to how tools like Puppet & Chef allow you to specify what you want
rather than how you want it done, it would be nice to be able to give Cassandra
this:
{code}CREATE OR ALTER TABLE stuff (
id int primary key,
name text,
city text,
state text);{code}
and it would look at the existing schema and work out that it needed to add
fields that are missing. This should only work in a non destructive fashion,
that is, it should not remove fields, indexes, etc. If a user attempts to
change a table and the action would be destructive, they should get an error
that they have to apply those changes explicitly.
