---------------------------------------

             Summary: Batch DDL
                 Key: CASSANDRA-7679
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7679
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Robert Stupp


Just an idea: To improve speed of DDL in clusters with lots of Keyspaces/Tables/Columns it might help to collect a bunch of schema changes and propagate them as a single bunch of changes.

Such a DDL batch would
# execute DDLs locally and collect all mutations
# broadcast all mutations at once
# schema agreement
# return list<SchemaChange> via native protocol to the client

So {{DefsTables.mergeSchemaInternal}} (which seems to be the expensive part) would only execute once per DDL batch on each node.

DDL batches would not be atomic.
