Is there a clear equivalent of 'show keyspaces' in cqlsh 2?

Question

What cqlsh command can I use to quickly see the keyspaces in a cluster? cqlsh does not provide show keyspaces and describe cluster isn\'t as concis

Answer 1

Just try this:

describe keyspaces

However you may need specs of approximately the following (rather than those mentioned by yourself Crowie)

[cqlsh 4.1.1 | Cassandra 2.0.6 | CQL spec 3.1.1 | Thrift protocol 19.39.0]
