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

             Summary: "look up" the `CREATE TABLE` statement used for a table
                 Key: PHOENIX-5054
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-5054
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Josh Elser


This is a super common problem we run into:
 # User files report/complaint
 # We ask for DDLs for table and any indexes
 # We receive the output of `describe <table>` from the HBase shell

Presumably, we have all of the necessary information inside of {{SYSTEM.CATALOG}}, we could recreate the {{CREATE TABLE}} statement for a table, no? I think it would be super helpful to, at a given point in time, obtain the {{CREATE TABLE}} statement to recreate a table as it currently exists.

Split points might be the only thing we can't explicitly do via Phoenix, but that's pretty minor compared to everything else.
