Rick Shaw commented on CASSANDRA-2477:
--------------------------------------
Tooling will want to be able to ask the API to describe:
- List all the Keyspace names.
- List all the attributes of the Keyspace
- List all the column families within a Keyspace
- List all of the column names and types of those columns that have been
declared
- list all of the indexed names and alias names
I think this will need to be returned by the API at the code level not a shell.
How about just a special set of CFs in the "System" Keyspace that can be
treated as RO data that describes Keyspaces and CFs?
