nodetool snapshot takes schema snapshot (backup) too?
问题 Cassandra doc mentions that "nodetool snapshot" command takes snapshot of table data. However, I am also able to see schema.cql and manifest.json file in my snapshot directory where all snapshot files are generated. Is this expected behavior? Also can I use this schema.cql file to restore the schema if needed? My cassandra version cqlsh> show version [cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 3.0.9 | CQL spec 3.4.0 | Native protocol v4] >nodetool version ReleaseVersion: 3.0.9 EDIT: Is it mandatory to use cql
