Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-7679:
----------------------------------------------

Not a new idea, but we are going to keep fighting it and similar ones for as long as we can. Because if batch DDL is a solution to your problem, then you are using Cassandra wrong.

> 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.
