Hey folks, A step in our Cassandra restore process is to re-create every keyspace that existed in the backup in a brand new cluster. Because these creations are sequential, and because we have _a lot_ of keyspaces, this ends up being the slowest part of our restore. We already have some optimizations in place to speed up schema agreement after each create, but even so we'd like to get the time down significantly more.
I was curious if anyone has any guidance or has experimented with ways of creating keyspaces that are faster than a bunch of CREATE calls. It's fine for the cluster to be offline during the process. Thanks, Leon
