Import and export schema in cassandra

Question

How to import and export schema from Cassandra or Cassandra cqlsh prompt?

Answer 1

If using cassandra-cli, you can use the 'show schema;' command to dump the whole schema. You can restrict to a specific keyspace by running 'use keyspace;' first.

You can store the output in a file, then import with 'cassandra-cli -f filename'.

If using cqlsh, you can use the 'describe schema' command. You can restrict to a keyspace with 'describe keyspace keyspace'.

You can save this to a file then import with 'cqlsh -f filename'.
