I already started work on it in Net::Cassandra::Easy but needed to keep things going with our current setup and jconsole wasn't working. I agree loadSchemaFromXML should go away, although IMHO there should be an easy way through something bundled with Cassandra (nodetool or cassandra-cli) to dump, wipe, and restore the schema even though the general schema support is punted to external tools. Are you against providing even that rudimentary support? Ted
