--------------------------------------
+1. This is the API I would prefer as a user - select is more natural to
interact with than a command I'll need to consult the docs to understand the
parameters to.
> Expose table schema for drivers

> Key: CASSANDRA-14825
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14825
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Legacy/CQL
> Reporter: Chris Lohfink
> Assignee: Chris Lohfink
> Priority: Normal
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Currently the drivers recreate the CQL for the tables by putting together the
> system table values. This is very difficult to keep up to date and buggy
> enough that its only even supported in Java and Python drivers. Cassandra
> already has some limited output available for snapshots that we could provide
> in a virtual table or new query that the drivers can fetch. This can greatly
> reduce the complexity of drivers while also reducing bugs like
> CASSANDRA-14822 as the underlying schema and properties change.
