Check a keyspace
Using cqlsh
, the DESCRIBE KEYSPACES/DESCRIBE KEYSPACE commands output the full details of the keyspace, including all database objects the keyspace contains.
Use the output from the DESCRIBE
command to recreate a keyspace and all its components.
The output includes all settings for tables and other objects including the default settings. When recreating a keyspace in another environment, verify that the settings are compatible, such as the keyspace replication factor and the datacenter names. |
