Table keywords

CLUSTERING ORDER BY ( column_name ASC | DESC)

Order rows storage to make use of the on-disk sorting of columns. Specifying order can make query results more efficient. Options are:

ASC: ascending (default order)

DESC: descending, reverse order

COMPACT STORAGE (5.1 only)

Use WITH COMPACT STORAGE to store data in the legacy (Thrift) storage engine format to conserve disk space.

The current storage engine is much more efficient at storing data, and compact storage is not necessary.

ID

If a table is accidentally dropped with DROP TABLE, use this option to recreate the table and run a commit log replay to retrieve the data.
