Description

Creating a table with LeveledCompactionStrategy in 1.2.8 seems to ignore it's compaction_strategy_class.

CREATE KEYSPACE activities WITH strategy_class = 'SimpleStrategy'
AND strategy_options:replication_factor = '1';
USE activities;
CREATE TABLE activity (
KEY blob PRIMARY KEY
)
WITH compaction_strategy_class='LeveledCompactionStrategy';

echo 'DESCRIBE KEYSPACE activities;' | cqlsh

Shows:

compaction_strategy_class='SizeTieredCompactionStrategy'

If you update it with

ALTER TABLE activity with compaction_strategy_class='LeveledCompactionStrategy' ;

Then the describe will now return correct results.
