[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-15320) Trim down the output from DESCRIBE KEYSPACE/TABLE commands

Steve M Halladay created CASSANDRA-15320:
--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Trim down the output from DESCRIBE KEYSPACE/TABLE commands
                 Key: CASSANDRA-15320
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15320
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CQL/Interpreter
            Reporter: Steve M Halladay


I realize DESCRIBE is not technically a CQL command, so maybe the component is misclassified. I suggest that the CREATE TABLE output from the DESCRIBE commands eliminate all the parameter values like dclocal_read_repair_chance and gc_grace_seconds, etc. unless they have been altered from their default values. Generally, people should not be changing these values unless they know what they are doing and have a specific reason, so displaying these values probably does more to tempt people to get into trouble than it is helpful. Also, if the values are the defaults, spewing out this content is mostly just noise.
If a user wants to see all of the parameter settings, perhaps adding something like DESCRIBE TABLE ALL would allow the verbose version.
