Normal Description
There is a discrepancy between create column family commands and then the output of the describe command:
cqlsh:test> CREATE TABLE timeline (
... user_id varchar,
... tweet_id uuid,
... author varchar,
... body varchar,
... PRIMARY KEY (user_id, tweet_id)
... );
cqlsh:test> describe columnfamily timeline;
CREATE COLUMNFAMILY timeline (
user_id text PRIMARY KEY
) WITH
comment='' AND
comparator='CompositeType(org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UUIDType,org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type)' AND
read_repair_chance=0.100000 AND
gc_grace_seconds=864000 AND
default_validation=text AND
min_compaction_threshold=4 AND
max_compaction_threshold=32 AND
replicate_on_write=True AND
compaction_strategy_class='SizeTieredCompactionStrategy' AND
compression_parameters:sstable_compression='org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.SnappyCompressor';
