import com.datastax.astra.client.tables.commands.options.ListTablesOptions;
import java.util.List;

public static void main(String[] args) {
// Get a database
Database database = new DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN").getDatabase("API_ENDPOINT");

ListTablesOptions options = new ListTablesOptions().keyspace("KEYSPACE_NAME");
List<String> result = database.listTableNames(options);
