Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-6146:
-------------------------------------
bq. Why wouldn't we just introspect the schema from the cluster? Note also that
in most cases we don't actually need to know the schema up front, to run a
query (or to process a resultset either).
Well, you need to define a number of things around the generation of data (and
distributions for clustering columns etc.) to populate the schema with, which
requires defining the columns anyway. Simply inspecting the schema limits the
flexibility (though we could easily inspect the schema for a general purpose
"do something automatic" if we wanted)

> The existing CQL "support" in stress is not worth discussing. We need to

> the native protocol while we're at it.
