Joshua McKenzie updated CASSANDRA-12644:
----------------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> CREATE OR ALTER TABLE
> ---------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-12644
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12644
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> 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.
