Description

In creating a CQL driver for ruby, there are a set of thrift calls that still have to be made to make it work correctly and that information must all be available via CQL before thrift is removed (probably with other CQL drivers as well). Suggested examples to start with:

• SHOW VERSION
• SHOW (KEYSPACES|DATABASE)
• SHOW KEYSPACE [<keyspace>]
• SHOW (TABLES|COLUMNFAMILIES)
• DESCRIBE (<table>|<columnfamily>)
