T Jake Luciani 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).
You don't need to specify a schema, but chances are you want to burn through a
number of scenarios this allows you to do it in a single well defined way. We
could allow you to just specify an existing keyspace and table as well but your
queries would fail because the stress tool knows nothing about the shape of
your data. You would need to write into the existing schema first.

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

> the native protocol while we're at it.
