Running DESCRIBE TABLE command using cassandra-driver

[Bhavesh Joshi]

Hi,

I am using cassandra-driver for node, I need to get the basic structure of the table(column name and type ) to create metadata for my use case, it seems we can't run DESCRIBE TABLE command from cassandra driver , is there any way to run it or any work around ?

Thanks,

Bhavesh

Hi Bhavesh,

Commands that work in CQLSH, such as DESCRIBE and USE are not valid CQL, they are CQLSH exclusive commands.

There is however an API for the nodejs driver that allows you to access schema metadata, see the Cluster and Schema Metadata documentation for details on this.

Thanks,

Andy
