Hello All, This is my first post here.
I noticed that Cassandra is pushing CQL3 more, it's even recommended to use CQL3 for new projects instead of the Thrift API. I know that one can use the compact storage to allow backward compatibility. And I know that CQL3 uses the new binary protocol instead of Thrift now. I believe they both use the same storage engine. (I still do not understand why they are incompatible!) Thus, I was wondering is there is a possible way that I can view the tables created with CQL3 in a lower-level view like I used with Thrift? I mean I can view the tables as simply CFs, just something to expose the internal representation. Thanks a lot
