Check a keyspace
Use cqlsh to execute the the DESCRIBE KEYSPACES/DESCRIBE KEYSPACE commands.
-
DESCRIBE KEYSPACESlists all the current keyspaces. -
DESCRIBE KEYSPACE <keyspace_name>contains the full details of the keyspace, including all database objects the keyspace contains. The output can be used to recreate a keyspace and all its components.

The output includes all settings for tables and other objects including the default settings. To recreate a keyspace in another environment, verify that the keyspace replication factor and datacenter names are compatible. |
