Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-17539:
----------------------------------------------
I'm not sure we want this added to every statement given that dumps generated
this way are often used for initial schema creation and restores. I can see
value in having a script that will raise an error if the table already exists
instead of silently ignoring it.
> 'if not exists' clause should be produced on normal DESCRIBE cqlsh command

> IF NOT EXISTS is saved when one takes, for example, a snapshot and it is
> added in schema.cql. However, I noticed that if one creates a table (or any
> other CQL entity for that matter), on DESCRIBE, it will not create the output
> with IF NOT EXISTS. I believe this is a discrepancy and it should be
> targetted.
