Rick Shaw commented on CASSANDRA-3140:
--------------------------------------
Can we leverage this approach to deliver "describe" functionality for Keyspaces
and Column Families?
Where would {{v$version}} be recognized as a special value and not a
non-existent CF? Can we make this kind of feature a "plug-in"? That could be a
very handy way to extend CQL functionality. Would the returned column names
just be published and "well known"? Can you use one of the known column names
rather than "*"?
BTW I like the "method" (postgresql, mysql) approach a bit better, but anything
extensible is cool.
