Thomas D'Silva commented on PHOENIX-5054:
-----------------------------------------
PHOENIX-5034 allows you to see the ddl history of a table/view. If you wanted
to recreate the table/view somewhere else you would have to run all the ddl
statements. The main drawback as you pointed out is this also requires the
SYSTEM.LOG feature being enabled.
> "look up" the `CREATE TABLE` statement used for a table

> Key: PHOENIX-5054
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-5054
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Josh Elser
> Priority: Major
>
> This is a super common problem we run into:
> # User files report/complaint
> # We ask for DDLs for table and any indexes
> # We receive the output of `describe <table>` from the HBase shell
> Presumably, we have all of the necessary information inside of
> {{SYSTEM.CATALOG}}, we could recreate the {{CREATE TABLE}} statement for a
> table, no? I think it would be super helpful to, at a given point in time,
> obtain the {{CREATE TABLE}} statement to recreate a table as it currently
> exists.
> Split points might be the only thing we can't explicitly do via Phoenix, but
> that's pretty minor compared to everything else.
