'show create' commands on the CLI to export schema
--------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2221
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2221
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools
Reporter: Jeremy Hanna
Priority: Trivial
It would be nice to have 'show create' type of commands on the command-line so
that it would generate the DDL for the schema.
A scenario that would make this useful is where a team works out a data model
over time with a dev cluster. They want to use parts of that schema for new
clusters that they create, like a staging/prod cluster. It would be very handy
in this scenario to have some sort of export mechanism.
Another use case is for testing purposes - you want to replicate a problem.
We currently have schematool for import/export but that is deprecated and it
exports into yaml.
This new feature would just be able to 'show' - or export if they want the
entire keyspace - into a script or commands that could be used in a cli script.
It would need to be able to regenerate everything about the keyspace including
indexes and metadata.
